Libby Cagle (Starkville, MS)
Libby Cagle taught visual arts and drama in the Starkville School District’s VIVA program for 30 years. Inspired by her 6th grade teacher, Frances Gregory, since she was a child Libby has been enamored with the huge variety of styles and movements of art throughout the world and at different time periods. Libby states, “Art transcends universal cultural barriers that humans often create.” Her favorite personal style for creating art is nonrepresentative abstract art. She enjoys listening to a variety of musical genres and losing all thoughts of the worries of the world when she creates. She describes the artistic experience as therapeutic in nature.

Serenity
"Serenity", $350, 24" x 24", Acrylic Paints, Florescent Card Stock Papers
This painting is in the style of Henri Matisse. In my mind, it is a mother reaching for her child to bring into a peaceful, serene environment. However, it is open to viewer interpretation.

Skeleton Study
"Skeleton Study", NFS, 225 in x 17 in, White Conte Pencil
Drawn in the fall of 2018 in my figure drawing class at Mississippi State University, this piece focuses on a reproduction of the Human Skeleton. In that class, we began with the skeleton, then moved to muscular structure, then planar features, and finally, live models. This process was extremely helpful in understanding the nuances of the human body.

Painted in the fall of 2018 in my painting survey class at Mississippi State University, this piece focuses on a reproduction of the Mouth of David by Michelangelo. Michelangelo's David was and is still considered a standard for figurative art, and it helped me understand the soft shadows associated with a face in the form of a still life.

Trevor Coopersmith (Culver City, CA)
By experimenting with nontraditional painterly elements of figuration, symbolism and organic abstraction, I create an allegorical visual language. My artistic practice translates experience (phenomenology) in relation to a complex network of interdependent systems (holism). Each work begins with an intimate connection to the canvas through means of preparation and research, and my approach to each painting narrates a diverse relationship to philosophy, social change and ecology.
My work is a response to the challenges of modernity and explores juxtapositions between ourselves and embodiment in relation to existence. Narratives of mythology, intuition and interdependent systems are reimagined in order to grasp a greater understanding of ourselves and a sustainable ecosystem, one where we can experience diverse perspectives and all thrive as a result.

Walter Diehl (Starkville, MS)
Walter J. Diehl is an avid world traveler and amateur photographer. He hopes that his photography provides viewers both a glimpse into those places that he has been privileged to visit and inspires them to travel and experience the cultures and beauty of new places. Diehl does not try to be the typical travel photographer, and he probably breaks most of the ‘rules’ of travel photography. Rather, he is a traveler first who tries to take the most inspiring photographs that he can under the conditions that exist at the time. His travel habits rarely allow him to sit in one place very long or take advantage of the best light for chosen scenes or subjects. Depending on the trip, he may focus on photographing nature, architecture, culture, and occasionally people. In his world, scenes are rarely perfect, and so he is constantly challenged to make the most of this reality. Diehl enjoys the reactions of people viewing his photographs. In an admittedly selfish sense, their reactions allow him to enjoy his travels all over again. But only for a while, because now he is already thinking about how to photograph his next trip(s).

Old Man of Saqqara
"Old Man of Saqqara", $150, 21" X 15", Photography
Adjacent to the Step Pyramid of King Djoser at Saqqara, Egypt, one finds the Step Pyramid Court. I photographed this gentleman leaning on his cane in the entrance to the Court, his silhouette and the vivid colors of sand and sky reflected on the corridor walls, polished smooth by untold numbers of tourists rubbing against the stone. The old man beckons.

I Have an Eye on You
"I Have an Eye on You", $150, 21" X 15", Graphic Design
I have photographed many animals over the years, and closely related species, such as Chimpanzees and Gorillas, may reveal strikingly familiar emotional expressions. But this is not a photograph of a closely related species; rather it is a photograph of an Elephant Seal from South Georgia Island. Nevertheless, the expression of smug contentment is just as clear on the face of this gentle giant as it would be on any one of us.

A Timeworn Smile
"A Timeworn Smile", $150, 21" X 15", Photography
During our travels, I usually shy away from taking photographs of people. However, during our recent trip to Egypt and in anticipation of this show, I purposefully photographed as many local people as possible. This gentleman is smiling because we had just spent quite a sum of money in his alabaster shop. His visage recalls many years of hard work going back generations. He never stopped smiling, at all times encouraging us to buy more.

Harley Graves (Atoka, TN )
Being a victim of bullying is a difficult thing to go through. The name calling hurts, and almost feels like what they say is true. Almost like you can see what they say written on you. Tattoos are permanent, they stay with you forever. Just like hateful words, they stick with us and we'll never forget the way they made us feel. Every hateful word feels like a cut through the skin, and in the end making a word we have to carry on our skin wherever we go. No one should be ashamed to be in their skin. Let alone see their body through the eyes of someone who can see their true beauty. Their inner beauty.

words hurt
"Words Hurt", $55, 12.5x16, Printmaking
In this intaglio line edging is about an old saying. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.” I think that was just a way for someone to act like they are strong. Words can hurt someone. I could see every bad name I was called like it was tattooed on my body. Seeing my imperfections hurt like a fresh tattoo.

Pete Melby (Starkville, MS)
As a fan of south Mississippi and Louisiana, my paintings are of natural scenes. I write about the region's culture and its dependency on seafood. Currently the Mississippi Sound, once a major producer of Gulf Coast Oysters, no longer has oysters due to intervention by mankind of natural flow of seasonal freshwater. Salinity changes in the once productive brackish waters have, affected the habitat for oysters, shrimp, and crabs, as well as the region's dependence on seafood.

Deer Island Biloxi before Hurricane Katrina
"Deer Island Biloxi before Hurricane Katrina", NFS, 12 x 24, Watercolor
Deer Island, just across the ship channel from Biloxi, Mississippi, is a popular boating destination from the mainland. It is forested with mature long-leaf and slash pine trees, and groves of live oaks located along the ridges of the 5 mile long island. A sandy beach existed along the south side. Hurricane Katrina covered the island with 35 feet of water for six hours, washing much of the island's sand into the Biloxi Ship Channel.

"Helen and Junebug", NFS, 12 x 15" unframed, Graphite and watercolor archival paper.
Mother & child. My sister June with Helen, my mother - circa 1948. Lately, I've been drawing from old family photos. Spending time with them - their faces captured in a fleeting moment. My mother was a young 22, same age as I when I had my first child. All the hope and love showing, the future unknown.

Sweet Baby ADDY
"Sweet Baby ADDY", NFS, Framed: 13 x 17.25", Digital
The direct gaze of a fresh, new human is deep. Made of stars, the moon, the sun. Remembering things that we can't recall. I spent 6 weeks in Portland, OR during the summer of 2020 with this sweet baby - Addy, and her big brother Pasha. Hands on, hands full; Nana was immersed. Took lots of photos and sketched when I had a moment.

Amuri Morris (Richmond, VA)
I aim to show how western culture tends to negate and undermine the place of black figures. I want to explore this displacement by bringing visibility to these figures and acknowledging the presence these usurped figures had in western backdrops. I often superimpose a higher presence in a corrective manner. The intersectionality between the often overlapping trauma of blackness, womanhood, and (the disadvantaged) class becomes readily apparent in my work. This plane of intersectionality is conceived from hegemonic powers that narrate our invisibility or roles as Jezebels, Mammies, Sapphires, or deviants. To combat this I aim to depict black beauty and excellence. My pieces break free from this imposed identity and explore new ranges. It's important to see the black protagonist, the black leader, the black achiever, while still consciously alluding to and rectifying the imposed otherness of black figures. My paintings create this fantastical fruitfulness that gratifies my inner child but also often acknowledges the "making do" of the past and the often unconventional charm these memories have. Although these adversities were present there is a nostalgic lens I look back on my childhood memories with that points towards resilience.

Wedding Bells
"Wedding Bells", $1,200, 16 x 20 inches, Oil
The chaos of 2020 can be highlighted through many social, political, and health crises. I aim to distill this chaos by highlighting these events in painting during a time when media (visual and verbal) tends to negate the actuality or seriousness of these events. These figures rise to reinvent a new world through the ashes of the racist old one. From these flames is a rebirth, which is symbolized by the blossoming marriage.

My work is about the ephemera left behind at social gatherings. After the passing of time, what lingers? I walk around areas of heavy foot traffic like city streets, and parks collecting snapshots and trash. I’m interested in grabbing traces of what remains intact of a moment after it passes. Time, it passes. It goes right along. What remains?

This is a head shot of the model Ruby Kye, so it's a pretty literal interpretation of the "Faces and Figures" theme. I was trying to recreate a classic retro-Hollywood look in these photos, so the photo is in black and white with relatively "hard" lighting, but using a soft-focus lens.

The concept was to create a clamshell opening up, revealing a woman opening up, revealing a pearl inside the woman. This was to represent opening up to love yourself. Not in the sense of beauty but because you will make mistakes. The piece relates to Faces and Figures because it takes a woman's form and celebrates it.

Will Pearson (Okolona, MS)
As a studio artist and native Mississippian, I draw inspiration from past experiences along with what is currently happening around me in the world today. The aesthetic of my work has deep ties to my personal experiences and love of traveling to, and the lifestyles of southern Louisiana, and the Gulf Coast of Florida. I draw inspiration for my use of color and style of painting from the colors and rhythms found in the times spent in these areas throughout my youth, the present, and future experiences. I mainly enjoy using the medium of oil paint in my work, yet enjoy incorporating other mediums such as photography help correctly convey the concepts and subject matter of my work to the audience. I am working to capture the sounds, lifestyles, and all-around aesthetic “or tone” of the areas that I am representing in my works.
