Pop Art in the Office

Blue Horse

I now have the art of Jerielle Hanlon in my office.  Jerielle grew up in Kentucky and has lived in Lexington for the past 13 years.  She majored in studio art at Transylvania University, attended classes at the University of Kentucky, and studied abroad with artists in Japan and the Czech Republic through the Universities of North Carolina and Massachusetts.  She teaches art at Meadowthorpe Elementary and will be painting a mural on technology and aviation for their libray.  She is slated to paint a prominent public mural this spring as well as teach at the Living Arts and Science Center.  She believes art is healing to the community and seeks to give Kentucky residents a sense of their own identity by blending Kentucky culture with pop art.  You can find her on Facebook and Etsy.  You can read more about her here and here.
