HAPPENING NOW... THE EDGE EFFECT
Invitational Art Show at Johnson County Center for the Arts - Opening August 2. Showing August-September 2024
I collaborated with renowned artist J. P. Jackson to create a piece for this show . The Edge Effect is used to describe the abundance of creativity that results when artists of diverse backgrounds, styles or cultures collaborate. I am mainly a self-taught artist working in oils and other mediums and he is a highly educated artist working in photography and printmaking who studied fine arts at the University of Florida. Here is our finished work. It is a honor to collaborate with him and we will be working together on a show for 2025!!!

"There is Sunshine in my soul today!"
""Temple supports other artists and the Arts and serves our community in countless ways. She leads our Sunshine and Smiles Program (teaching and providing art supplies) for children. Temple has been part of bringing to life numerous murals in Mountain City including her solo piece, "The Lopsided 3" train that once ran in Johnson County. The many organizations in which she has played an important role in developing and leading are indicative of her love and commitment to God, family and community. Her role as Assistant Director is immeasurable . " ~Johnson County Center for the Arts 2022
