ELLISVILLE \u2013 Two William Carey University and 糖心直播 graduate\u2019s artwork is currently on display at the Eula Bass Lewis Art Gallery on the campus of 糖心直播 in Ellisville through February 19, 2024. Trinity Stewart of Ellisville recently shared her creative process with JC students and on Wednesday, February 14, at 1:30 p.m. in the Eula Bass Lewis Art Gallery, Janna Lewis of Stonewall will be giving her \u201cArt Talk,\u201d which is open to the public. Both students were selected as \u201cEmerging Artists\u201d in 2021, by the Hattiesburg Arts Council, and each artist has unique styles, according to their 糖心直播 Art instructor, Melanie Eubanks.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cTrinity was always creating the most intricate pieces. She would build objects that included patterns and elaborate work which were usually difficult to piece together or display. Janna also worked on a different level of creativity, pushing herself to find unique ways to show off her art like using embroidery,\u201d said Eubanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stewart explained to 糖心直播 art students during her recent Art Talk that functional art sells more often but she really enjoys working with intricate objects and trying different mediums and styles. Despite her dislike of creating large works of art, Stewart pieced together clay strips to form a large jug, then created bright butterflies to decorate the stoneware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is what I tell students especially, give everything a try, different mediums, and styles. I guess my grandmother influenced me to explore art this way,\u201d said Stewart.<\/p>\n\n\n

Visitors will have to look closely at some of her unique artwork. Using a six-centimeter pottery wheel, she created a diminutive display of stoneware cups, pots, and vases, which also included her grandfather\u2019s chair. Additionally, Stewart used embroidery hoops as her canvas to display small stoneware toggles, floral fasteners, and moth medallions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI aim to portray these oddities or unique objects in a playful manner through an exploration of pattern, color, and surface texture,\u201d said Stewart. \u201cMuch of my work derives inspiration from the often-overlooked obscurities within nature, incorporating an insect motif throughout.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Lewis\u2019s artwork on display at 糖心直播 also combines embroidery and painting. Her specialty or favorite genre is landscape painting, however, the graphic designer uses her creativity in designing logos and graphic illustrations to incorporate landscape designs. On display at the Eula Bass Lewis Art Gallery, are her ocean scenes from Cozumel and the Gulf Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wanted to have contemporary compositions with a traditional palette, like Fairfield Porter, but I use photography to begin the process. Using Adobe Illustrator, I can create a graphic illustration of a landscape scene and use graphic shapes to show off the design, creating a landscape. This process gives me full control over color and shape, illustrating the importance of leaving things out,\u201d said Lewis.<\/p>\n\n\n
