Kim Jorgensen Art Exhibit August 1-September 30, 2026 Reception: August 9, 3-5 pm On view in the Grand Hallway “I have been painting for more than ten years, working primarily in acrylic and mixed media. Largely self-taught, I have been drawn to color, texture, and the ways visual art can communicate ideas and stories. My love of making things began in childhood through fiber arts, needlework. Those early experiences continue to influence my interest in layering, texture, and surface. Faith and art history have been the sources of inspiration throughout my life. For eight years I taught ancient, medieval, and church history, often using art to illuminate the people, ideas, and beliefs that shaped the world. As I continue to teach Bible stories, visual imagery and historical context remain important tools for understanding and communication. I am drawn to the places where light, both literally and metaphorically, breaks through - whether in history, faith, nature, or the layered surface of a painting. My work explores themes of light, beauty, restoration, and hope through color, texture, and gestures.”

 “Deanna Mullins is a native Memphian working primarily in acrylic, water-color and mixed media. She is known for her bright colors, bold use of shapes and patterns and often whimsical paintings. It is her joy to use her creative gifts as her way of giving back and engaging with the community. She has been painting professionally for the last 15 years but considers herself a life-long learner continuously seeking opportunities to grow in her work.
 I paint to bring joy, I give to paint, I paint to share, I paint to feel fully alive in the gift that God has given me.”This Event&nbsp;Runs From Aug 1, 2026, 9:00am to Aug 31, 2026, 6:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada)<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/153002/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More info
