The area is illustrated with winding creeks, rolling plains and lush forests. But Fentress County is deceptive.

Paint It Forward Greetings! I’ve met so many people in the course of my career — friends, colleagues and art lovers, who have come to my studio and gallery shows. Some of these connections have deepened. Others were brief. Others still have yet to be made! But what if these relationships could be less disparate and instead could be a constellation, a community? This letter is my first step toward making that real.
