February FOBL Gallery Wall Artist
Melanie Jackson
Paint
Artist Bio:
Originally
from Texas, Melanie Jackson's exhibit, Current Work on Canvas &
Papers, is inspired by memories of Texas and scriptures or images from
her spiritual thoughts.
"Art
is part of who I am," says Melanie, "I am motivated by a desire to
develop the gifts God has given me, to encourage others to do the same, and to
create art that brings peace to the viewer."
Melanie's
work is represented in private collections in the U.S. and abroad,
including The Tennessee State Museum. Before retiring,
she taught classes at the Williamson County Parks & Recreation Center
for 18 years. She now conducts classes and workshops at various
locations, including her studio outside Leiper's Fork.
Studying
art at Watkins Arts Institute, Melanie also received private
instruction from Charles Brindley and Mike Barcus.
Melanie has
lived in the Franklin area with her husband, Dale, for 30
years. They have one son, a daughter-in-law, two grandkids, two
cats, and a dog.

Presented by The Friends of The Brentwood Library:
Each
month, The Brentwood Library hosts two local artists on the Friends of
the Brentwood Library (FOBL) Gallery Wall and Showcase Display. Please
take a few extra moments the next time you visit to pause
and savor these artists' creations.
Each artist who displays their collection on the FOBL Gallery Wall contributes one piece to the our Art Lending Library. With over 230 pieces to choose from, patrons
are able to check them out for ninety days. This artwork is a beautiful
addition to the library that includes original artwork in acrylics,
oils, pen and ink, pastels, photographs, and water colors. A full,
detailed description of most items can be found in the Digital
Collection on the library’s website.
