November Featured Artists

Charlotte Brindley, Oil Painting
Born in Nashville, Charlotte Brindley is an artist that has a studio in the Knoxville, TN area. Brindley received a B.A. in Art History with a minor in Studio Art, and shortly after a M.A. in Folk Studies with a concentration in Historic Preservation, both from Western Kentucky University. Charlotte’s formal training and education included a heavy concentration in abstract expressionism blended with a deep reverence and connection to the past. Her paintings are inspired by late Gothic works, the early Renaissance masters, and the Pre-Raphaelites. Given her inclinations toward the surreal, Charlotte’s work falls nicely into the genres of Magical Realism and Symbolist styles of painting. Her work often juxtaposes themes of beauty and horror, light and dark, strength and weakness, mystery and knowing. It asks questions about our loyalty to traditions, and contemplates our notions of the sacred and profane. Charlotte’s current work, which features the female portrait imbued with cultural notions of mystery and inner transformation, is a series of paintings that are beautiful and deliciously disquieting. Charlotte utilizes the beauty of moths and butterflies to lead the viewer into her paintings with a sense of awe. However, any heaviness of tradition, or any sense of the burden of effort required—all of this is beautifully offset by vibrant and playful colors, chosen it seems to allow a bit of cheeky whimsy.

Janis Proffitt, Pyrography Wood
Janis is a native Knoxvillian. Her roots run deep in the Smoky Mountains. Her great great grandfather owned a sawmill in the Greenbrier area of the National Park. For over 25 years, she along with her sister ran their Dad’s woodshop in Pittman Center, TN. With her rich Southern Appalachian heritage, she creates both traditional and contemporary wood turnings. In the 1980s she taught herself wood burning that she incorporates on to her pieces. Her work comes from the Head, the Heart, and Hands.
