Theresa Caputo at the Knoxville Civic Auditorium April 16, 2020.

"The Experience" brings Theresa face-to-face with her fans, as she lets spirit guide her through the audience. A video display ensures everyone in the venue has an up-close-hands-on experience regardless of seat location. "The experience isn't about believing in mediums. It's about witnessing something life-changing" says Theresa Caputo. "It's like Long Island Medium live, witnessing first-hand spirit communication."

The highly-rated show Long Island Medium follows Theresa's life as a typical Long Island mom with one very big difference...she can communicate with the dead. Since she cannot "turn off" this gift, messages from departed loved ones can come through at any time, which lead to spontaneous readings with those she encounters. In addition to her television show, Theresa has appeared on such programs as "Jay Leno," "Jimmy Fallon," "Steve Harvey," "Live with Kelly and Michael," "Dr. Oz," & "The Today Show."

Theresa's latest book, "Good Grief: Heal Your Soul, Honor Your Loved Ones, and Learn to Live Again", was released in 2017 and debuted on the NY Times Best-Seller List at #3. With her energetic, positive, and encouraging tone, Theresa uses the lessons from Spirit to guide the reader through grief toward a place of solace and healing. Theresa's second book titled "You Can't Make This Stuff Up" was released in September 2014 and debuted at #9 on the NY Times Best Seller List. Her first book titled "There's More to Life Than This" was released in the fall of 2013.

Theresa has been a practicing medium for over 20 years. She helps individuals find closure by delivering healing messages. For Theresa, this is not just her job... this is her life. Learn more about Theresa at www.theresacaputo.com.

The Art Guild of Tellico Village will have the privilege of presenting the Professional Oil media artist Aurora Bull from Maynardville TN. She has a studio in her home and Aurora and husband Earl run an active farm.

Aurora was born in Kalamazoo MI and moved to FL in 1957. While in FL she worked for a Veterinarian and was able to study the anatomy of animals; this enabled her to become proficient with animal portraits, especially horses. Aurora is sought after for commissions of those equine breeds. She has drawings that date back to when she was 8 years old (kept by her mom) and took up pastels at an early age. Aurora started working in oil media in 1968 and as she says “she was hooked”. With her proficiency in the medium she was asked to teach in 1985 and has been doing so since that time. She has been a resident in TN since 1985 and this is home.

Auroras ability to harmonize design and color allow her to depict a wide variety of subjects; both realistic and romantic. She uses a very limited palette consisting of only 3 primaries. Applying opaque tones of soft colors with layers of a transparent glaze give a three-dimensional effect tempered with subtle overtones. A recipient of many awards and honors, both from juried exhibitions and featured artist magazines (see North Light Artist); makes her attractive to many collectors both Corporate and Private throughout the US and Abroad. Aurora enjoys sharing her knowledge and experience with others by conducting workshops and giving demonstrations. She gives ongoing classes at the Fountain City Art Center in Fountain City – Knoxville TN. You can learn more about Aurora on her website www.aurorasfineart.com.

Time and Location: 9:30am to 12:30pm – Top floor of the Tellico Village Yacht Club.
Refreshments: Light refreshments and beverages will be served before the speaker presents.

Harriet Howell, Silk Painting
My main focus in silk painting is exploring color, pattern and texture in nature. My goal is to create beautiful, wearable art that enhances and expresses the personality of the wearer. I have always loved textiles, and painting on silk is a fun and challenging medium with which to explore ideas and new adventures. Ultimately, I hope the wearer of my work also shares the adventure.

I have a BFA from the University of Tennessee and worked as a graphic designer for 20 years. I now paint full time on both paper and silk. I work primarily in plein aire or abstract painting in water media and pastel. Some of my silk dyes are derived from plants in my yard and some are commercially produced. In whatever medium I use, the imagery is always based on the natural world.

Lynda Best, Acrylic Painting
I was born in Wichita, Kansas and because my father worked for Boeing and the Apollo program, I moved around the Southern United States during my childhood. I have been creating art for as long as I can remember. Even as a junior high student, I had an art studio in my daddy’s garage and taught art to children in the elementary grades. I sold my paintings to my teachers and I knew that I had a special talent in how I “saw” the world. I remember riding in the backseat of the car finding hidden images in the trees along the road as we drove by. Nature is a magnet for me to understanding myself. As I grew older, I developed a style showing the "frozen moment" we perceive when we look at anything in nature. For me, everything in nature is moving energy. That is a part of my spirituality. The spirit is found and often rediscovered in nature. This connection nourishes my being! The mountain seasons inspire changes in water, flowers, and the spirit. Nature's transforming power can be most directly witnessed in the growth cycle of the flowers and the seasonal changes in water levels in our streams and rivers. I use acrylic in a modern impressionistic style with entrancing outlines and colors that act to "freeze" the movement of the shape while capturing a moment in the continual change on display in our beautiful Tennessee.

by Melissa Ross
When legendary novelist Mick Stockton died, he left his three daughters a house in Cape Cod, control over his books, and a whole lot of issues.

Years later, the men in their lives struggle to be a part of this elusive family’s legacy. It’s not always easy keeping up with the hurricane of the whip-smart and sharp-tongued Stockton Sisters. Especially during a weekend filled with dramatic confrontations and surprising confessions. But good scotch helps.

A raw, poignant, and hilarious look at the fun and dysfunction of family.
