Patsy White: The Locals on the North Wall
Patsy Ferrell White will display a sampling from an ongoing series of portraits of Knoxville artists and creatives. Her works are acrylic on canvas. She describes herself as “a 21st-century working class creative”; self-taught and self-employed, she has been fortunate to make a living as a full-time creative for almost 20 years. White’s passion is painting portraits, and she has also found a niche in interior design with the artist’s touch. White is inspired by a great facial or other physical expression that reveals something about the subject. She hopes viewers will be intrigued by the ever-changing cast of characters in her body of work.

“I’ve only been sharing my art work since July of 2017 when I entered a painting in a local music-inspired competition,” she says. “Much to my surprise, I won Best of Show and was encouraged to move forward in developing my style. About a year later, I placed among the finalists in an international competition which earned me a spot in a group exhibit in Manhattan.”

Dawn Hinesley Jones: Sacred Geometry: Intricately Designed Fused Glass Pieces in the display case
My Scared Geometry Glass series explores a sculptural side of two-dimensional pieces: flat compositions focusing on symbolic or trompe l’oeil themes. My goal is to challenge the line between two- and three-dimensional art, and I want to infuse my pieces with a sense of strength or symbolism that makes an impression on the viewer. I am intrigued by the mathematical forms in nature and art, and the optical illusions that can be created solely through compositions, color and light.

Dawn Hinesley Jones received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Texas Tech University, giving her an appreciation of both the precise techniques of printmaking, and the fluid spontaneity of painting. She established a career in graphic design and illustration for newspapers and the print industry, developing a keen eye for composition and graphic representation. Her fine art endeavors evolved into mixed media painting and hand-made papers, and she explored the sculptural side of two-dimensional pieces. In 2012, Dawn began taking that exploration into glass. She has experimented in hot glass, and is currently working to master fusing art glass. Her artwork has been shown in galleries in Winston-Salem, NC; Knoxville and Oak Ridge, TN. She is currently a member of the Piedmont Craftsmen Guild, Southern Highland Craft Guild, the Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville, and the Oak Ridge Art Center.
