Anna K. Betts: Weaving Connections Through Fiber Art
Hailing from Gallatin, Tennessee, Anna Betts embodies a spirit of creative exploration in her works. With a Bachelor’s of Fine Art from Middle Tennessee State University, her current fascination with fiber art showcases the vibrant textures and colors that make her creations stand out. Anna explains, “My work is a celebration of unity, where each piece of fabric tells its own story.” Her piece Nashville in Color artfully captures the lively essence of Nashville, urging viewers to appreciate the collaborative spirit that defines the city.
Janet Felts: Celebrating Tennessee's Beauty
Janet Felts, a beloved Tennessee native and a talented watercolor artist, reflects her love and appreciation for her home through the lens of music, landscapes, and the rich narratives of individuals she encounters. With degrees from Austin Peay State University and Georgia State University, she uses her art to encourage others to “really see” the beauty around them. Her work Touch Riff conveys the interweaving nature of music and life in Tennessee, demonstrating how deeply the state's culture is embedded in her artistic expression.
