Huge Kudos for JC Chapman
06/26/23
Longtime student and friend of the Raven's Wing School of Art JC Chapman was featured as a Transylvania Community Arts Council's member artist of the month. Congratulations, JC! Here is what they had to say in their latest news letter:
"Our featured artist this month is JC Chapman. JC is a member of the Transylvania Art Guild, and her work has been displayed in multiple exhibits at the Arts Council, including most recently the TAG Summer Showcase, as well in several other venues.
JC describes the beginning of her life as an artist: "I began my artist journey in Murphy, NC about 12 years ago taking acrylic landscape classes at the community college - and fell in love with art!" Later, JC moved to Brevard where she's continued to develop her skill in multiple art forms with classes in drawing, watercolor, and pastel.
Of the media she uses, JC says, "I am especially obsessed with drawing and painting portraits in graphite, charcoal, pastel pencil, and acrylic." As a member of the TAG, JC has not only connected with fellow artist friends, but also had opportunities to learn from art programs that exhibit her work. Recently, she has been developing he craft with artist, teacher, and mentor Don Blackwell at his studio in Flat Rock.
JC can be contacted by email at jcchap45@yahoo.com. We are grateful to have JC's talent on display at the Arts Council and invite you to visit our exhibits and see her work!"
