Sunny With a Chance of Thunderstorms by Sarah Megan Jenkins

On view in the Grand Hallway, May 18-June 29.

“Sarah Megan Jenkins studied Painting at Memphis College of Art in Tennessee, completing her degree in 2010. After college, Sarah relocated to Madisonville, Louisiana, where she now lives and works in her studio full time. Sarah spends her time raising her two beautiful daughters, creating art, and exporting nature. A few of her favorite hobbies include gardening, kayaking, making costumes, and collecting nature treasures. Nature provides balance, stress relief, and a stronger mentality and can leave one feeling physically refreshed. From weather patterns to the cycles of the season, nature’s beauty flows through the Earth from the top of the atmosphere to the deep ocean floors. My work, which ranges in materials, seeks to capture this push and pull of nature’s all-encompassing energies and remind the viewer that they too can find tranquility through nature’s rhythm.”

There will be a reception on May 18, from 3:30-5 pm
