Art After Dark Featured Artists

Portia Williams won the 2017 Black Creek Arts Festival “Best in Show” designation for her self-taught mixed media pieces that feature her eclectic tastes and experimentation with color, texture and design. She fuses a mixture of paint, found objects and personal pieces into her work.

Williams’ bio highlights her bold ventures into painting and beyond.

“Art is the process of revelation, and it is my wonderful challenge to channel and interpret the unimagined and unspoken into the realm of the perceived—to express beyond what the written or spoken word can convey.

“I am a largely self-taught mixed media artist with a passion for creative connection and fearless innovation.”

You’ll also get a chance to meet and experience the photography of Pam Smith, owner of Nature Reflections Photography.

Smith and holds a B.S., M.S. and Ed.S degrees in music education from Jacksonville State University. After a successful career as a band director, she retired in June 2011 to purse her interest in nature photography.

A safari to Africa in 2002 awakened a serious passion for nature photography, and she has returned to Africa six times to experience the its wonders and beauty. Don’t miss her up-close and personal photos and DVDs of wildlife and the natural world via her globe-trotting travels.

Kerry Leasure, with Here a Chick There a Chick will showcase her one-of-a-kind statement jewelry that combines her love of the written word with antique and found treasures.

“I create jewelry out of vintage and found objects,” Leader told Bham Now. “Each piece tells a unique story.”

“I’m a southern chick, mom to three chicks and I find the objects for my pieces here, there—you get the idea!”

The Cottage Industry Soap Company will also be on hand with handmade bath and body products, all made from premium, upscale and organic ingredients.
