Sun and moon clay masks
Selected students exhibited their work from the previous spring art show at Jefferson Elementary School. A strong showing of applied talent and skills was shown by the children in grades K through 5th grade . Many deserving pieces were unable to be included. Clay sculpture, pastels, mixed media collage, portraits, and illustrations local to Jefferson County are in exhibition. Approximately 47 works of art were chosen from a pool of the creativity of 550 children to be a part of the fall student gallery at the Knoxville Museum of Art (KMA). "The Best of the Best from J.E.S." was displayed from October 2, 2018 through November 18, 2018.

Commissions
I accept commissions for acrylic paintings on canvas for pet and people portraits. My specialty is memorial painting. Since I paint from photographs, I can add/delete items in the painting. The most requested is to add items that remind people of the person or pet in the painting. Backgrounds can be changed as well. Price will be negotiated based on size of painting, subject complexity and other factors.
