Adrienne grew up in Martinsville, Virginia before studying Painting & Printmaking at Virginia Commonwealth University. After Graduating with a BFA, she took the long way home to pursue her dreams of being an artist. Adrienne is currently the art teacher at Martinsville Middle School, and enjoys creating art in her free time. I am inspired by memories, the beautiful landscape of our area, and the deeper thoughts we have as we daydream.
ABOUT THE PIECE
Growing up my grandmother had somewhat of a cabinet of curiosities. She had taken an old printmaker's drawer and turned it into a shadow box that hung on the wall displaying miniatures and treasures from the places her and my grandfather had explored together. I found myself getting lost exploring all the little compartments filled with objects that had memory and stories attached to them. I plan to combine the two prompts. After researching Folklore of our area, I came across “granny Magic”. The idea came to mind to create a shadow box painting filled with items that an Appalachian witch might use to create spells. Incorporating the folklore of our area that I find interesting, while still adding the memory of a cabinet of curiosities.
