OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Leah Yaun Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
This piece is titled “Fear of Him”.
It is about a time in my life when I kept quiet about a series of situations in fear of what would happen if I spoke up.
It is too common that women are belittled by boys because boys think they can do anything they want.
I think it is important to note that women are so much stronger than what society views us as.

The Elizabeth Molter Exhibit
My mom has always been my inspiration my entire life. She has always been there with me through tough times and even when I had health problems she never left my side for a single minute, not to even get a bite to eat. When I found myself doodling one day writing calligraphy she, along with others, inspired me to start this business and make some money from my passion and talent.
The Ruth Everhart Exhibit
Authors usually choose what topic they’re going to study, especially a topic that will consume their energy for years. But sometimes the reverse occurs. Sometimes the topic chooses the author.
The Emily McClenagan Exhibit
Jane & Pearl started during my twins' nap in 2015 as a way for me to create as well as give back to others. I am partnering with Thrive Parkridge in East Knoxville to amplify their work and donate profits to help with projects such as renovating rooms and spaces in their 100-year-old building. I love to paint live at weddings, watercolor home portraits, and of course whimsical florals.
