Artist Spotlight with Chip Freund
Fun and engaging discussions with contemporary visual artists who answer five simple questions about their artistic journey, media, and inspirations. New episodes drop every other Tuesday.
The Artist Spotlight podcast is on indefinite hiatus effective July 18, 2023. I hope to be able to bring the show back at some point in the future. Thank you to our loyal listeners for your interest and support.
Artist Spotlight with Chip Freund
Artist Spotlight: Jeannette (Jnet) Stevenson
When it comes to her art Jnet has always had the desire to create something of beauty made from her hands. Her love of clay focuses on two main properties: the contrasts of transforming a soft malleable material into a rock hard object that retains the appearance of softness, and the ability to create unpredictable colors and designs on pottery and sculptures with fire. She strives to create sculpturally functional hand-built and wheel thrown forms inspired by joyful colors and nature. Her artwork does not attempt to address any issues facing us, but is a simple exploration of the expressive qualities of color and the sculptural qualities of a leaf, especially Hostas. To her, every piece she creates is a way to add an element of beauty and joy to someone’s day-to-day life.
To see Jnet's work check out her website and follow her on Facebook & Instagram. To see Jnet's art in person please visit the Cary Gallery of Artists in lovely downtown Cary, NC, NCAM Gift Shop in Raleigh, NC, and the Creative Exchange in Rolesville, NC.
