Emmilou Harlan Art Exhibit: Dec 11, 7pm-9pm
My work has been inspired by where I come from- a small community in which my childhood fort was a hog pen on my grandparents' farm- and what I hold dearest in my heart above all- my faith. In this current collection from "Though You Can't See Me," my familiarity with nature intertwines with hope to explore the goodness and beauty that surrounds us every day, and the messages we can take from the world around us. Like birds in nature, whether we're singing in the sun from the highest treetops or we're holding on for our lives during the roughest storm, there is always hope. You and I are not alone.

I am 26 and I live in a rural area of the Midwest near the Illinois and Iowa border, the Mississippi River. Here I live and work as an artist, and I also work as a nanny. I graduated from Northern Illinois University with a degree in fine art. My major emphasis was photography, though I am studied in a variety of mediums and enjoy practicing a broad range of art.
