"Earth, Wax and Fire"
by Margaret Park
“I am calling my demonstration 'Earth, Wax, and Fire',” says Park, “because all three things must be present when working in this medium. The pigments come from the earth, and those pigments are bound with wax. The wax is made workable with fire. While it sounds as if it would be fragile, encaustic paintings are permanent when properly cared for. It’s a fascinating process, and I love to show it to people.”
A lifelong artist, Margaret says, “I was born in West Virginia, grew up in Chicago, learned a lot in the suburbs, and am blooming in Tennessee. A trail of paint was left behind through it all!” Known for her work in watercolor and acrylic, she loves exploring encaustic technique.

“Dangerous Drawings, is a
deliciously dark and satirical exhibit
of acrylic and ink artwork I’ve created specifically for this installation. Each
painting challenges the accepted norms of modern society while exploring it through musical and
literary references.”
A native of Chattanooga, Doug McCoy has a lifetime of experience in art, theater and literature. He currently focuses exclusively on painting and drawing. However, the different forms of creativity he has pursued inform his highly individual 'art-rhythm' in line, harmony in color, and drama in shape and subject.
"Cuttin' Up"
Featured Sculptor: Denice Bizot
On Display Throughout October
The sculptures in
"Cuttin’ Up" are inspired by images of the cosmos captured by the Hubble and James Webb orbiting telescopes.
Working primarily with metals, Bizot is an important member of
the Chattanooga arts scene.
Noted for her original use of found materials and her freewheeling sense of design,
she creates abstract pieces of power and beauty.

David Harris
David Harris is a potter who specializes in beautiful implements that are intended to be used. His work is a celebration of elegance in everyday objects.
For David, working at the potter’s wheel is an enriching experience. “A piece of clay coming into balance on the wheel just feels good, “ he says. “It relaxes the body and re-centers the mind. When I go into my studio, I like to say I’m going to ‘play in the mud’”.
