Lea Lackey-Zachmann, a founding Artworks Gallery member, shares what she’s thankful for this season, in this Winston-Salem Journal article, “Artists and creatives in Winston-Salem share the things they are thankful for”. Here’s a quote from Lea:
“…it’s still the season for giving thanks, and local artists and creatives are sharing what they are thankful for.
Lea Lackey-Zachmann, a visual artist and founding member of Artworks Gallery in Winston-Salem, will have fewer people over for Thanksgiving this year than in the past — just six people made up of immediate family and a neighbor.
“I am thankful for the acceptance of diversity as I see it in my life,” Lackey-Zachmann said. “For the past 40 years, my husband and I have invited at least eight to 10 people over for Thanksgiving dinner. Most of them are friends who aren’t enjoying Thanksgiving with family. They feel like family, and I appreciate the honor of having them join us. We actually talk about the two no-nos, religion and politics! We all come from different backgrounds and have divergent perspectives. The discussion is often heated but funny and easy.
“When one enjoys a full tummy and participates in a stimulating/inspired gathering with acceptance and respect, life can’t get much richer or better than that! This is so especially if you add a plate of music that includes at least some classical, jazz, old rock and some new sounds for a challenge.
“I’m very appreciative of the diversity of all that is. We live in such a wonderfully complex world and our diversity in thought, word and deed is staggering. We are living in a time when division and intolerance of differing opinions are rampant. I know that we can accept opposing opinions and live peacefully with one another because I’ve seen it at my Thanksgiving table for years. It gives me reason to hope and I’m thankful for it.”

The Sunday, Nov 21, 2020 Edition of the Winston-Salem Journal has a review of our November exhibits by art critic Tom Patterson. Read the full article here. You can also read a PDF version of this review here. Thanks to Tom for this insightful review. A few quotes from the article below.
“Tefft’s work encompasses a variety of mediums, and much of it relates directly to the Mueller Report and Donald Trump’s presidential administration, which chose the passages to be redacted. Like many contemporary artists, Tefft is not a fan of the outgoing president, as is clear from her work on view here.”
– Tom Patterson, Special Correspondent, Winston-Salem Journal, Nov 21, 2020
“Anderson’s festively colored prints on cloth and paper are charms against inertia and hopelessness — icons of strength, endurance, and abiding energy. The thematic gist of her stylized imagery is reflected in the titles of individual pieces — “Eyes,” “Fire,” “Mindful,” “Comfort.” Inspiration is the name of the game.”
– Tom Patterson, Special Correspondent, Winston-Salem Journal, Nov 21, 2020
“…Lea Lackey-Zachmann employs a darker and more subdued, earth-based palette in her five-part series of mixed-media monoprints. She’s a resolute nature abstractionist, whose work typically has a neo-pagan undercurrent. … Leaving aside the titles, on their own as evocative markings on paper, these pieces extend Lackey-Zachmann’s ongoing project of visualizing natural forces. It’s a theme both limitless and imaginatively challenging.”
– Tom Patterson, Special Correspondent, Winston-Salem Journal, Nov 21, 2020

Take a video of Lea Lackey-Zachmann’s current exhibit: “Still Standing Like The Trees”
Lea Lackey-Zachmann endeavors to bring you into the realm of awareness and sensing she extends to all living beings. “Still Standing Like The Trees” is a collection of images, started before the California fires this year. The artist says, “As their process towards completion continued they began to reflect the possible methods in which a conscious living being might respond to extreme circumstances. The trees, like all Nature have much to teach us.” These impressive new works, rendered in monotype with pencil, suggest viewing trees as sentient beings.

The new works by artist and designer Woodie Anderson employ printmaking, drawing, sculpture and written language to explore the areas where identity, personal history and society intersect. “Weary Heart” shares work from her ongoing series, “Tooth and Nail,” about the fight for love and community, as well as the struggles of identity, self-protection, and self-projection. These prints, presented on paper and fabric, will delight and engage viewers with fresh, meaningful messages.

Artworks Gallery Presents:
Come visualize through works by Jessica Tefft what happens when information is intentionally obscured. She says, “I got the idea for this show when I read the Mueller Report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. It felt as though I could not read two sentences without some part being blacked out – redacted – so the public couldn’t read it. But I kept looking at all the redactions. And I noticed the little black bars were often embellished with the words “May Cause Ongoing Harm.” If so many things could cause “ongoing harm,” I wondered, shouldn’t the American people know?”
Visitors will see many imaginings of ongoing harm caused by willful obfuscation conveyed through a variety of multi-media art. Many employ tongue-in-cheek commentary of the social, political, personal, world we live in.
