OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT

The Kendra Barth Exhibit

About Her Exhibit…

My name is Kendra Barth (aka Blanket Fort Studio) and I am a multi-disciplinary artist in Knoxville TN. I make ceramics, illustrations, prints, paintings, jewelry..etc.

My playful quirky style is visible in all of the things I make and I am often inspired by the wonder of nature.

This Illustration, titled “Fierce” is my representation of the tenacity of the female spirit. In nature spotted Hyenas organize under a matriarch and work together, using teamwork and intelligence to hunt and outwit rivals.

They are strong, female opportunists and damn scary. This hyena is dancing toward an opportunity, secure and brave, not only surviving but thriving.

The colors are muted, imitating the colors in nature and softening the tone of the piece. She is playful, surreal – constructing herself in the moment.

More Exhibits

The Chloe Allison Melton Exhibit

I am inspired by nature and energy. I want to know why things happen. I am very curious. In a way, my art documents that. I also consider art my platform to communicate about important issues. I love that I can use art to inspire others. It allows me to show viewers a perspective they may not have otherwise considered. In a world where everyone is seeking change, I believe the pivotal role of the artist is to be a messenger of the many perspectives people have.

The Megan Cook Exhibit

Entrepreneurship is no joke. It's HARD work. Long hours, endless networking, small business admin, the list goes on and on. And, sometimes, being a woman in entrepreneurship is that much harder. But what nourishes and sustains me is the community I've built through it. I love that I can collaborate with other women entrepreneurs, supporting each other's dreams and work in community with each other rather than in competition with each other.
