Tennessee Artists Association: Monthly Meeting with Esther Sitver

Category: Exhibitions, visual art, Free event, Lecture, panel and Meetup

The Tennessee Artist’s Association will hold its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 18th at 7:00 pm at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 6500 Northshore Dr., Knoxville. This meeting is free and open to anyone interested in the arts in East Tennessee. Refreshments will be served.

The guest speaker for March is artist Esther Sitver. Sitver is a Knoxville based illustrator who merges vintage aesthetics with contemporary progressive ideas and humor. Since selling her artwork as a child, Sitver has marketed stickers, prints, and postcard designs. She draws with an old-fashioned dip pen and colors digitally in Photoshop. Her love for traditional pen and ink drawing pulls together her specialties: portraiture/figure drawing, editorial illustration, pattern design, and plein air painting. Sitver graduated Ringling College of Art + Design’s Illustration BFA Class of 2020. When she’s not creating, Sitver can be found rollerskating and hiking around East Tennessee. You can learn more about Esther Sitver’s artwork at https://www.esthersketch.com.
