Each of us has an inner voice. For artists, that voice constantly whispers “create.” While this doesn't always lead to a finished piece, when it does, sharing it is a true joy and privilege. One of the best ways to ignite the creative spark is through collaboration. In this spirit of camaraderie and creativity, these three artists come together to exhibit their work. Linda Blair, Marcia Shelly (Maru), and Cheryl Massey (cherdo) showcase their talents across various mediums, including watercolor, acrylic, pastel, and ink. You never know what they'll create next, but they do so to bring delight to the world of art.

Dame Linda Blair shares this about their unique partnership, “We created Three Dames a few years ago to enjoy the advantages of exhibiting collectively. We each lean towards water media, which naturally allows our work to be a cohesive display.” In past years, the 3 Dames have exhibited throughout East Tennessee, in venues that include the Emporium, Plateau Art Gallery (Crossville), Tomato Head restaurants, Awaken Coffee, and Good Samaritan of Crossville. Their work will be at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Church in October and back at the Emporium in February 2025.
