Exhibition: July 16th - Aug 20th, 2024
Reception: Aug 11, 2024 2-4pm About the Artist:
I am a Plein air painter. That means I go places to paint outdoors. This venue of painting has a long history and has become very popular in the past 20-30 years. There are many competitions across the USA and other parts of the world. One of advantages of this movement are trips have come available to go to places just to paint and experience the culture. I have been extremely fortunate to have gone on five. Each time it has been a special time with great memories, making new friends and some artwork painted by me. |

TAC Featured Artists Peggy Harrell Jennings and Sri Deepika Ancha

PEGGY HARRELL JENNINGS
Birds of a Feather Although she generally portrays a variety of subjects in her artwork, Harrell Jennings has chosen to focus on the beauty and challenges of painting birds for the exhibition, “Birds of a Feather.” Each bird represented comes from a personal encounter whether in her yard, the beach, or on nature walks and hikes. She frequently photographs her subject matter then interprets -whether realistically or expressionistically - according to the chosen media and the moment. For this exhibit she explored various techniques and interpretations with watercolor, acrylic, oil, and mixed media to present and interpret her feathered friends in their natural environment and in her imagination. |
SRI DEEPIKA ANCHA
Indian Tribal Art My art includes Indian Tribal Art. Tribal / folk art includes madhubani, lippan, kolams, mandalas, warli, pichwai. Each method has been originated from different states in India. I work primarily in acrylics, oil, ink, epoxy compound and modeling paste. I currently work from my home. Lippan is clay art. It is from Gujarat (state in India). It is mostly done by village women to decorate their home. Warli is from Maharashtra. It is believed to be one of the oldest art forms from history. This type of art consists of triangle shaped figures, both human and animal form. Village women decorate outer walls of their homes with this kind of painting. Each house tells a story. Pichwai is from Rajasthan. It is mainly about Indian deities. Kolams are from the southern part of India where women decorate the ground at the entrance of their homes. |

Exhibition: Dec 4th, 2021 - Dec 18th, 2021 Mon-Sat 12pm-5pm
Reception: Dec 4th, 2021 1pm-4pm
|
Artist Bio: Delia Yan was born and raised in Jacksonville, FL. She is currently attending the University of North Florida for her BFA in Ceramics. She primarily uses stoneware clay as her medium. Yan's coil-built work explores how elements such as color, form, and texture affect the viewer’s perception of the piece. Her inspiration stems from the study of aesthetics, and she hopes to find more ways to manifest emotions through her work. Her work has been exhibited at the UNF Gallery of Art, the Lufrano Intercultural Gallery, and MOCA.
Artist Statement: Through the use of organic forms, color, and visual weight, I create works that are alluring and sensuous. I use ceramics as my medium to capture the dual roles of utility and decoration. At times, my pieces lean more towards function, and at other times, they are solely sculptural. I feel there is a distinct type of appreciation for a piece where both these qualities coexist, rather than having a sole purpose. I am inspired by the relationship between the mind and reality. I am intrigued by the varying perspectives people have when interpreting a piece. I use nonobjectivity as the focus for my forms to bring about a consciousness within the viewer and use ...

Michele D Lee
has been exploring the interaction between figuration and abstraction in painting and drawing since the beginning of her career. She experienced a turning point in her art exploration when Joe Blaustein an art professor in Los Angeles introduced her to the San Francisco Bay Area artists ranging from Manuel Neri to David Park. While in the years since, Lee has explored different ends of the spectrum of possibility in painting, from figuration to abstraction, her sense that painting can host an interaction of these two impulses derives from her introduction to the Bay Area painters of the 1960’s and 70’s.
