STANLY ARTS GUILD DISPLAYS AT AGRI-CIVIC CENTER FOR MONTH OF MAY 2008
Works of two very talented
artists are on display at
the Stanly County Agri-Civic
Center during the month of
May 2008.
On the wall will be
paintings by Janet Isenhour
who enjoys painting a
variety of subjects in
several different mediums,
including oils, watercolors,
pastels and collage. Her
paintings range in size from
4 x 4 inches to 24 x 30
inches and include subjects
such as florals, landscapes
and still life in both
realistic and abstract
styles.
Janet has served as
president of The Carolina
Artists for the past 5 years
and holds memberships in the
Mooresville and Stanly Arts
Guilds. She has
participated in juried shows
and many other exhibits in
North and South Carolina,
winning numerous awards.
She has painted murals and
stage sets for theatrical
productions and two of the
angels displayed yearly in
Salisbury during the
Christmas season. Janets
art is bright and happy and
reflective of her passion
for life and her deep
Christian faith.
Lindsey Springer, an
aspiring young artist from
Norwood, NC, will have
examples of her photography
in the display case.
Specializing in children and
pet portraits, Lindsey
believes that a natural
setting produces a
photograph with more
character. Lindsay won an
honorable mention in Our
State magazine with a
beautiful black and white
photo of a rose. Her
business is entitled The
Snap Shop.
All Arts Guild
displays are free and open
to the public during regular
