Rotating Art Display

Featured Artist, Carol Pasco

The featured artist for July is Carol Pasco

Carol’s journey began roughly seven years ago when she joined an art community. While working in stained glass and lapidary shops, her creative juices started flowing, but soon watercolor painting took over and became her passion.

Under the guidance of two demanding tutors, and with the advice and encouragement offered by fellow artists, Carol developed the skills necessary to express her emotions with paint. She learned something about the technique of painting from each completed piece, and incorporates what she has learned into her next painting.

Over the years Carol won many ribbons for her work in art shows, and she has sold roughly 50 paintings to friends, neighbors, and art show patrons. Her biggest joy comes from repeat sales from new friends she has made.

The City is pleased to have several of Carol’s paintings at the Mountain Regional Library, all of which are available for purchase.

Main Street Young Harris is creating a database of local artists from North Georgia and NC. Please take the time to share your information here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DL3PGKY. Our goal is to connect artists with events, opportunities, and potential grants. Thank you!

About the Rotating Art Display

In order to highlight the talented people in our awesome mountain area, the City of Young Harris has put together a community involvement initiative that showcases local artists. The Rotating Art Display at the Peach State Federal Credit Union and the Mountain Regional Library showcases the work of many local artisans. Artwork includes pottery, woodwork, jewelry, glass work, quilting, basketry, gourds, felting, photography, and paintings. The artwork will be on display for about eight weeks and is available for purchase through Main Street Director Rosemary Royston. If you are interested in having your art on display, please complete and sign the Rotating Art Agreement below, and submit to rroyston [at] coyhga.com (Rosemary Royston), who will follow-up with you to discuss next steps.

Below is a list of artists who have shown their work at either Peach State Federal Credit Union or Mountain Regional Library.
