ARTS COUNCIL OF MOORE COUNTY PRESENTS

Youth Arts Spotlight

ALYSON STITES & ROWEN HUTCHINS

By Heather Weeks

“Self Portrait” by Alyson Stites 2024 Judge’s Choice – High School Division

The Young People’s Fine Arts Festival has been a staple of the Moore County art scene since 1996 when art teacher Cheryl Stuckey asked the Arts Council to exhibit works by her students in Campbell House galleries.

Celebrating such creative and diverse works by students from all over the county is something that bolsters the local art community both in and outside of the school system.

In honor of the 29th annual Young People’s Fine Arts Festival in March, the Arts Council caught up with two winning artists from last year’s festival: Alyson Stites and Rowen Hutchins.

ALYSON STITES Alyson Stites, a freshman at NC State University and graduate of Pinecrest High School, was the Judge’s Choice Award Winner in 2024 for her “Self Portrait” (above). Her portrait was the result of a summer AP drawing assignment. We began our interview talking about the piece and how she created it.

Could you explain your creative process for “Self Portrait”? It was done with colored pencils on watercolor paper. I took reference photos and sketched out the picture in graphite using a grid technique for accurate proportions. Then, I planned out the color scheme and started drawing. I used a colorless blending pencil to thoroughly blend the colors together. For the second piece, I used acrylic paint on watercolor paper using a similar process. I tried to exaggerate the color scheme and contrast between the warm and cool tones.

What has been your most enjoyable experience studying art?

My most enjoyable experience was creating a piece for my AP art class my senior year of high school. Specifically, my favorite piece was an acrylic painting from my point of view reading a book on my porch (right). It’s from a photo that I took. The class forced me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to experiment with different styles and media while creating pieces that were completely original to me. Outside of this class, I would usually just draw pictures from references I found online, or photos that people paid me to draw. Being in the AP class forced me to start from scratch and execute artistic ideas all on my own.

Do you have any favorite artists? I don’t really have any Acrylic painting by Alyson Stites favorite artists, but I have definitely seen art I really like and that inspires me. My favorite pieces are the ones that make me stop and really think about how the artist did it.

Learn more at MooreArt.org

Do you plan to continue pursuing art? As much as I love art, I have always received the most enjoyment out of doing it for fun on my own schedule. In any case, studying art has taught me so much and whatever I do, I’m sure that I’ll utilize my artistic talents and creativity in some way. I plan to continue doing art in my free time.

(continued from page 5) What advice would you give to young artists? Step out of your comfort zone, try new things and don’t get discouraged when things don’t turn out the way you want.

ROWEN HUTCHINS Rowen Hutchins, a current senior at Pinecrest High School, won 1st place in the painting category in 2024 for her piece titled, “Abundant Waters” (right). Rowen was working on her college portfolio when I reached out to her.

When were you first interested in visual arts? I don’t believe there was a specific moment when I first realized I was interested in art. Around four years old, I would craft at home and spend hours outside doing sidewalk chalk. In elementary school, I focused more on doodling than paying attention in school because I was bored and it got me into some trouble. I think the moment I truly chose visual arts was when I had to pick my one elective in 6th grade. I chose visual arts and it’s been that way ever since.

“Abundant Waters” by Rowen Hutchins Explain your creative process for “Abundant Waters.”

2024 1st Place Painting – High School Division “Abundant Waters” was a summer assignment for my AP class where I had to create an idea or prompt and construct two pieces to explore it. I wanted to show how different animals could represent different religious meanings, so I researched different stories of fish in various spiritual traditions. Fish often express a coming together and show a transition from one to many. These ideas led me to many sketches. I chose this composition for symbolism, and the style for a fun twist.

What was our most enjoyable experience studying art?

I feel like I learn something new about art, materials or even the process in every piece that I make, so I don’t know the most enjoyable yet. However, one of my favorite things I’ve learned in art is about colors. It sounds a little silly, but during the process, I’ve learned how colors work together, fight for your attention, make or break a piece, and so much more. I enjoy teaching my friends and fellow artists about colors and I love that it comes out in other parts of my life like memorization, décor or picking an outfit.

Rowen Hutchins working on a commission

Do you have any favorite artists? I would say Jean Michel Basquiat for his amazing street style, use of color and more abstract compositions. Another is David M. Bird, an incredible 3D artist who uses natural resources to create little creatures which are placed among wildlife to build photographed scenes. While I could name more, I’d rather mention my art teachers, Christine Wilson and Julie Skolozynski, for being great artists and the best teachers!

Do you plan to continue pursuing art after graduation?

I don’t think I could live in a world where I don’t do some kind of art. Recently, I applied to colleges to major in architecture where I can use my love of art and math to create. It took some time to realize what I wanted to pursue. (continued on page 9)

(continued from page 7) What advice would you give to young aspiring art students? To anyone interested in art, I would say that it’s important to understand that you will hate it at times. The process might be draining when you can’t get the hang of a technique or you compare yourself to others. But for every moment you struggle, there will be ten more times where you are deep in the zone perfecting an idea, making the right marks, and you will be improving. The hardest part is not stopping when you have a setback, so know that the process is important.

Hundreds of Moore County students are currently working on the masterpieces to enter into the 2025 Young People’s Fine Arts Festival. Make sure you don’t miss this show, which will be on view at the Arts Council Galleries at Campbell House from March 7–26, 2025 (weekdays, 10am-5pm) and Saturday, March 15 (12-4pm).

ARTS COUNCIL OF MOORE COUNTY

PALUSTRIS: NATURE’S NARRATIVE

April 4-25, 2025 | Arts Council Galleries at Campbell House | By Troye Curtin

In the heart of Southern Pines is the Boyd Round-Timber Tract, home to the world’s oldest known stand of longleaf pines and part of the Weymouth Woods-Sandhills Nature Preserve. By the turn of the 20th century, 90 million acres of longleaf pine were all but lost. Today, only a fraction of this biologically diverse and endangered ecosystem remains.

Through the art of Anne Crabbe, Rose Kennedy and Emily Whittle, the Arts Council will recognize our region’s natural beauty and local habitats in an exhibit called PALUSTRIS: Nature’s Narrative, the name Palustris derived from the Latin term for the longleaf pine.

Anne Crabbe was always drawing or creating something as a child. She now works with clay because of its fun, versatile and challenging nature. She enjoys how every week her artwork is constantly teaching her.

Born in Canton, Ohio, and raised in Michigan and Wisconsin, art has always been a big part of her life. She expressed this interest throughout her education, earning a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin (art minor), master’s degree from University of Iowa (related art), and her doctorate in art education from the University of Nebraska.

Anne Crabbe at work in her studio She moved to North Carolina with her husband to work at St. Andrews College in Laurinburg. Her family was enticed to Moore County because of the climate and world-class golfing.

She finds peace from her backyard, which borders the 3rd hole on Pinewild’s Magnolia course.

Anne works in various pottery styles including handcrafted pieces. “I think of a piece of pottery as a canvas,” she says. “I like to use texture, carvings or applied clay on the surface to embellish it.” She recently started using crystalline glazes to create bursts of crystals on the surface. Her advice to aspiring artists is to start early since she only began working with clay after her retirement in 2008.

Rose Kennedy is a lifelong artist. She prefers oil as a painting medium because its buttery consistency and versatility. Color mixing with oil intrigues her because of the limitless possibilities. She states, “There is no right or wrong way, I just need to find the recipe that works!”

Born in the Grays Creek community of Cumberland County, NC, Rose always had an interest in art and can remember her awe at seeing a reproduction of Renoir’s Girl with a Watering Can. This piece never lost its impact and years later she was able to see the original painting.

She wants her art to inspire people like Renoir did for her and she is thankful whenever her art creates an emotional impact.

Many themes in her artwork can be attributed to her admiration for nature. Growing up on the family farm she recounts how she harbored a deep appreciation for “gnarly trees, sparkling water, wild grasses, wildflowers, corn fields…on and on!” She loves plein air painting and she travels to different locations and paints on-site. She Rose Kennedy plein-air painting admired the architecture around Pinehurst when visiting her mother and she often incorporates the gardens and landscape into her paintings today.

Nature also plays an important role in the life of Emily Whittle. Born and raised in New Jersey, she works with a variety of mediums including pen and ink, charcoal, pastels, acrylics, oil pastels, lithography, Western calligraphy, and book arts. For the past 15 years, she has focused on Chinese brush painting, calligraphy and learning the Chinese (continued on page 14) -13-

(continued from previous page) language and culture, since she believes that brush and Asian papers are the perfect marriage of materials. She especially appreciates their biodegradability in a time when artists need to think about toxicity to the environment.

As a toddler, she hoarded stacks of blank paper for future drawings and was obsessed with making marks on the page. She credits her older sister for introducing her to the broader world of art by taking her to the local art museum when she was nine years old. In college, her art professor took her to the Columbus Museum of Art where the artist Milton Avery became her role model. She describes him as a happy, generous and kind man, beloved by his fellow artists. “His work exudes gentleness, love and joy,” she says. “It gave me hope that being an artist did not require being a tortured soul!”

For Emily, creating art is a spiritual pursuit that combines her time in the studio with meditation practices. Her interconnection with nature was further expressed when she and her husband moved to Whispering Pines. The area’s natural beauty, including the trees, wildlife and water of Reservoir Park continue to sustain her. She hopes her art inspires the viewer to reflect on the deeper “Save the Earth” by Emily Whittle meaning of life and a love for Mother Earth.

The opening reception for PALUSTRIS: Nature’s Narrative will be Fri., April 4 (6-8pm) at the Arts Council Galleries at Campbell House. The show will be on view April 4-25 (weekdays, 10am-5pm) and Sat., April 5 (12-5pm). The exhibit is free and open to the public. Campbell House is located at 482 E. Connecticut Ave. Southern Pines.

ARTS COUNCIL OF MOORE COUNTY PRESENTS

IN THIS MOMENT

May 2-29, 2025 Arts Council Galleries at Campbell House

By Troye Curtin

The Arts Council’s May exhibit, In This Moment, presents works by Alyson Bahr, Nancy Crossett and Jodi Ohl, three distinctive voices sharing deeply personal connections to their craft and the world around them. Together, these artists invite you to experience their unique perspectives and reflect on the transformative power of creativity.

Nancy Crossett with some of her art Alyson Bahr was born in Manchester, CT, but was drawn to Moore County for the involved community that had an abundance of interesting art, delicious restaurants and great amenities. She enjoys her home near Weymouth Woods where she can investigate her backyard and find magnolias, hollies, and herds of deer. She was first introduced to art at the age of three when she was caught drawing on the walls with broken crayons. When asked why all the crayons are broken, she replied “because I wanted more.” That sentence has carried on throughout her life as she loves the challenge of learning something new.

Alyson currently works with silver jewelry, pine needle baskets, spinning weaving, sewing, and painting. Her art has helped her transverse through a lot of darkness and sometimes it is her pretty paintings that come from difficult places. She thinks that the best art leaves question marks. Her advice is when you share your most vulnerable self you find out that others have similar struggles. “You can only be Wonder Woman part of the time,” she explains.

Nancy Crossett is an acrylic artist from Ohio. She moved to Pinehurst with her husband for the pleasant atmosphere of the pines and for the world-renown golfing. She prefers acrylic on canvas, cradled panel, and occasionally paper. She paints with anything she can get her hands on – brushes, palette knives, fingers, spatulas, trowels – and her art includes collage, stencil, crayon, pencil, graphite, and anything that seems useful.

Nancy’s art is inspired by her faith and is demonstrated in her work through color and emotion. While painting, she says that she often starts with a general idea or emotion, but during the flow of painting the art starts to talk to her. She enjoys it when her art can invoke emotion and speak to others the way it speaks to her.

One of her favorite memories is when her friend cried and hugged her after receiving one of her pieces.

Jodi Ohl was born in a small town in western New York. She moved to North Carolina for her first job after college and immediately knew she was never going to leave. She began her foray into the arts at an early age, first with music and then with writing. While she always loved to draw, she didn’t start painting until her mid-thirties.

The themes in her art changed with her age and life experience.

She started with art being a therapeutic way to process emotions, translate dreams or share what she loves. “While this is still true today, I currently draw upon themes of empowerment, resilience, community, and my emotional responses to life experiences. My most memorable moment was when a customer picked up a painting and instantly had tears in their eyes. The customer said she was in the same emotional place as me and we formed an instant connection.”

Jodi Ohl in her studio The opening reception for In This Moment will be on Fri., May 2 (6-8pm) at the Arts Council Galleries at Campbell House. The show will be on view May 2-29 (weekdays, 10am-5pm) and Sat., May 17 (12-2pm). The exhibit is free and open to the public. Campbell House is located at 482 E. Connecticut Ave. in Southern Pines.

ARTS COUNCIL OF MOORE COUNTY PRESENTS

BLURRED BOUNDARIES June 6-27, 2025|Arts Council Galleries at Campbell House Blurred Boundaries, a national

traveling exhibit created in 2023, will showcase 30 thought-provoking 2-D and 3-D works by members of the Art Cloth Network (ACN). The exhibit title refers to the concept of boundaries blurring – divisions, margins, edges, extremes – and a viewers ability to see them.

Juried by Susie Brandt, the show encompasses a colorful array of styles and interpretations. The various design techniques utilized by the artist changes cloth from one state of being into another, and the very nature of this kind of manipulation blurs boundaries.

ACN is a diverse group of leading-edge professional textile artists from the United States and Canada who create and exhibit their work in galleries and other art venues.

The group calls their work Art Cloth, meaning cloth transformed by adding and subtracting color, line, shape, texture, and fiber to create a compelling surface. For example, some fabrics are stained with rusty objects or printed with imagery using A collage of some of the pieces by ACN members analog or digital technology. Other design techniques include dying, painting, printing, and stitching on cloth. Indeed, all these are acts of transformation. Artist statements in the show will explain how these ideas are brought to life through masterful employment of surface design on cloth.

Each ACN member brings a personal vision and sensibility to their cloth while benefiting from the supportive community of the group. As a collective, members are dedicated to trying new things and taking risks to bring exciting new perspectives to their art. They share their work, technical knowledge and business skills with one another in a effort to promote the medium of cloth as an art form in the broader community.

Learn more about the Art Cloth Network and the Blurred Boundaries exhibit at www.ArtClothNetwork.com.

The opening reception will be Fri., June 6 (6-8pm) at the Arts Council Galleries at Campbell House. The exhibit will be on display June 6-27 (weekdays, 10am-5pm) and Sat., June 21 (12-2pm). The exhibit is free and open to the public. Campbell House is located at 482 E. Connecticut Ave. in Southern Pines.

ARTS COUNCIL OF MOORE COUNTY PRESENTS

HEY, ARTISTS! GET LISTED! Introducing the new Moore Arts Directory The Arts Council is excited to unveil the Moore

Arts Directory. Several years in the making, the directory is a free web-based listing for the public to learn about artists, arts opportunities and resources within Moore County.

"You’d be amazed at how many calls we’ve received over the years for local musicians for a wedding, art classes for children, funding for a special arts project, and so on,” says Chris Dunn, Arts Council’s executive director. “Now we Find arts teachers for children & adults have a free resource.”

Available at www.MooreArt.org/Directory, the goal is to connect audiences with artists through a comprehensive and searchable listing of all arts and cultural resources in Moore County. Once fully populated, the directory will provide a wealth of arts opportunities, showcase and promote artists, and hopefully spark collaboration between the artists, arts groups, businesses, and our community.

The Moore Arts Directory categories will include: • Artists – creative types living in Moore County • Arts Organizations – groups offering programs and services • Arts Resources – sound and lights, rentals, appraisers, etc.

• Attractions – must-see sites in Moore County • Classes & Teachers – arts instructions in Moore County • Festivals & Events – annual Moore County happenings • Funding – grants for artists and arts organizations • Galleries – places to see and buy art in Moore County • Venues – Moore County spaces for performances and events Find galleries and more A basic listing in the Arts Directory is free and will list the artist/group name, a short bio, one listing category, one contact method, and one photo or graphic. Arts Council members at the Artist Circle membership level ($75) or higher will get a full listing that offers a long bio, multiple listing categories and contact methods, website link, social media links, and up to eight photos or graphics within the listing.

The Arts Council’s Moore Arts Directory was supported in part by a grant from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

To get listed, simply click on the “Create Your Listing” button at www.MooreArt.org/Directory to register with your email and password. Once approved and live, you can edit your listing to keep it updated. So, go ahead and get listed in the Arts Council’s Moore Arts Directory!

Did you know... the Arts Council of Moore County awarded $61,536 in grants last year? While over half of these funds were awarded to Moore County arts organizations, the rest were awarded to individual artists.

For our youngest artists, we offer scholarships to explore their creative interest before they go to college. For our older artists, we offer grants to recognize their talent and help them in the next stage of their career. In an effort to spread the word, check out two such programs we offer and see if you, or an artist you know, may be eligible to apply.

The scholarship may not be used to fund college attendance.

The scholarship is named for Cos and Harry Barnes and Vaud Ancil Travis, III, three long-time arts lovers and supporters of the Arts Council. Additional funds have been added as tributes and memorials.
