Edward\u2019s Steakhouse is proud host local artists, Kristy Barnes and Jessica Brewer of B&B Designs, during the April 2019 First Thursday Art Walk.<\/p>\n
\u201cHello, we are Kristy Barnes and Jessica Brewer of B&B Designs. We recently started our arts and crafts business in January 2019 to help provide income for each of our households. We are a mom (Kristy, 45) and daughter (Jessica, 27) duo and we love to create things that bring joy to others.”<\/p>\n
“Kristy, a recent widow, has a woodshop where we can custom cut, sand, and build our projects. We do projects with reclaimed barn wood from our family property as well as store bought wood and other things.”<\/p>\n
“However, Kristy does most of the wood work while Jessica, a stay at home mom of three, does more of the design and creative work. But regardless of who does what we love being able to work and create with each other. We make many different things from personalized home d\u00e9cor, holiday signs, and custom-made pictures frames.”<\/p>\n
“We have both found something that we are passionate about and are continuing to learn and grow as we go. Our goal is to be able to create something that will give you and your home a little bit of happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

DBO Gallery (128 N. Second Street)<\/h3>\nArtist Information<\/h4>\n
DBO Gallery is proud to host an exhibit by Olasubomi Bashorun during the April 2019 First Thursday Art Walk.<\/p>\n
Olasubomi Bashorun graduated with an art degree from Oklahoma Baptist University and now lives and works in the Middle Tennessee area. In addition to creating beautiful original work, he teaches art, instructs ballroom dancing and hosts creative workshops.<\/p>\n
[320left]Olasubomi\u2019s artistic inspiration was fostered and influenced, in part, by his high school art teacher, Kathleen Blake. \u201cI have always had talent to see and create, but she made me realize what art can do for the mind and soul. She taught me to be creative and express myself with my art. I\u2019ve been doing that ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe that everyone of us should create. Sure, some peoples creation maybe more esthetically pleasing than others. But its not only about the outcome, it is about the process of starting from nothing, adding the first scribble then creating relationships from scribble to line, working through rough edges and the mistakes and then knowing when to walk away. Creating is for us all to get lost in something, express words, moods, feelings. Creating is life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Horsefeathers Pottery & Art Studio. (94 Franklin Street)<\/h3>\n
Horsefeathers Pottery and Art Studio is proud to host local artist, Tracy Bettencourt, during the April 2019 First Thursday Art Walk and will be open from 5:00pm \u2013 7:00pm.<\/p>\n
Tracy Bettencourt, artist, advocate for persons with disabilities, motivational speaker and APSU alumni, began to lose her eyesight in her early 30s from an eye disease called Retinitis Pigmentosa. Although the disease has left her blind, the hardships she experienced have not prevented her from living her life to the best of her abilities. She brings new insight to how art is viewed and continues to have a humble heart.<\/p>\n
Artist statement<\/h4>\n
I am blind. I lost my eyesight over twelve years ago and within the past five years began painting using my hands. My life is very structured and I use assistive technology on my IPhone and IPad to identify colors. The paints I use are textured acrylic and forms of puffy paint.<\/p>\n
My hands are my eyes and the puffy paint allows me to convey my thoughts and feelings onto canvas using tactile lines. Every day I wake and live in darkness yet with my newfound skill of painting, I am able to share my unique perception of the world around me as well as conveying the unseen beauty of life.<\/p>\n
My paintings reflect hope, adversity, love, positivity, strength and determination. I put my heart, soul and insight into every piece of artwork. There will always be a mountain to climb yet I strongly feel that no matter what the obstacle, there is light within darkness and therefore there is hope.<\/p>\n
