A Symphony of Color Art Exhibit by Jackie Ivey-Weaver and Shelby Kasulka
Virginia Hand Callaway Exhibit Hall
February 25 - April 2, 2012
Jackie and Shelby look forward to sharing the glory of color in God's creation with collectors and art lovers alike through their works of art. Both artists' work depict flow, dynamic energy and a joyful, positive attitude toward life which comes through in their fine art.
Jackie Ivey-Weaver was born in Richmond, Kentucky. An early interest in fabrics and design led her to Wesleyan College in Macon, GA for two years. In the years between, her intereest turned to fine art and she returned to Wesleyan College to earn her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. In 1991 Jackie opened her studio to teach drawing, painting and sculpture. Over the years, she has had sever one person exhibitions, has been invited or juried into group shows and has won many awards. The main challenge in Jackie's art is to suggest the form of something that occupies space as well as evoking a response in the viewer.
One of Shelby Kasulka's first memories is of drawing a horse. Over the years she has continued to draw and paint. She was mainly self taught while working in the medial field and raising two daughters. She took early retirement and realized her true passion was applying paint to canvas. She then began taking lessons from Jackie Ivey-Weaver and then enrolled in Gordon College under the tutelage of Marlin Adams. Shelby's art is influeced by her appreciation of God's creation that challenges her to interpret tand portray the uneanding variety of nature each time she stands behind her easel. She feels as though she has only scratched the surface of her art and looks forward to learning more.
