SPOTLIGHT ON CHARLINE MARRINAN

Charline Marrinan

Charline’s nature photography has opened a whole new world for her, from the first zoom and snap of her camera, she has been capturing marvelous scenes of nature.



Majority of Charline’s photos are taken within 50 miles of her home in Pulaski County. Adjoining counties also have an abundance of God’s Beauty that can be seen in her photos. In her collection you can also view the Smoky Mountain and other scenic areas.


Charline has experienced the joy of being filmed by Dave Shuffett of Kentucky Life on KET when a segment was done about her photography.


Andrew Powell of the Voice newspaper wrote about Charline at her book signing of the Spirit of Nature that “Capturing the true spirit of a subject in a still image is a rare art that can take some photographers a lifetime to master. For others, that spirit can master the person behind the camera taking them deep into that one still moment. Charline Marrinan fits into the second category of photographers.”


God has truly blessed Charline in a special way.

Spotlight on Teresa Day

-->
Teresa Day of London Kentucky has been an artist for many years. Her works range from mixed media paintings, sculptures, and pen and ink drawings. Her main media is paint on canvas. Ms. Day has a business as a muralist. Her business “Art By Day” was established in the spring of 1995 in London, Kentucky. It is very well known. 


Teresa Day has loved art since elementary school. One of her teachers (Ms. Bittle) took her under her wing and gave her one-on-one art lessons. She also took her to art museums and entered her work in state fairs. Today Ms. Day looks back on that time of learning, experience, and encouragement with a great deal of gratitude. 



Ms. Day studied the arts throughout her school years and painted a mural in Laurel County High School in 1977.  She went on to study art at Eastern Kentucky University then started to paint for friends. That experience led her to do what she does today as a muralist.
