Art exhibit features Christmas-related theme

Three local watercolorists are sharing exhibit space at the Christeen Snavely Art Gallery at the South Central Kentucky Cultural Center.

The artwork by Margaret York, Sandy Novosel and Jane Kehrt all have a Christmas-related theme, many featuring Santa Claus.

The women came up with the idea to do an exhibit together based on the type of work they all like to do.

“We felt like we would like to put up a Christmas show and since we all do Christmas things and Santas and that type of thing we thought it would be good to have something hanging during the Christmas season,” said Kehrt. “We’re very fortunate to have the Christeen Shavely exhibit space. She was a wonderful person and a dear friend.”

Kehrt has been painting her entire life and taught art at a community college in Elizabethtown in the late 1970s. Her work is in numerous private and corporate collections across the United States as well as in Russia, Argentina, Ireland and Guatemala, according to her Web site.

Her painting of Santa on a John Deere tractor is whimsical.

“I guess I probably did it because we were in the farm equipment business and both my husband and I grew up on a farm, and this is a rural community, essentially, and I thought it would be something interesting and something different and something people could relate to,” she said.

York has a painting of Santa in a long red coat, plus several others.

Novosel’s artwork is pressed flowers surrounding calligraphy.

York has been painting for more than 10 years. Some of the paintings on display in the exhibit are ones she used as Christmas cards. She made her first Christmas card in 2001, and said it was so much fun she has continued making them over the years.

“My project, starting in about September or October, is to try to figure out what I’m going to do and do my Christmas card,” she said. “It’s been fun.”

York said she is honored to be a part of the exhibit, because Kehrt is her former art teacher. York studied with Kehrt for several years as part of the Wednesday Watercolor group that meets at St. Helen’s Parish Center.

“I am very flattered to be hanging here with Jane Kehrt, who was my original art teacher. If it wasn’t for Jane, I wouldn’t be here. She’s the one who started me off in watercolor,” she said.

Kehrt said she is pleased to see how far York has come with her artwork over the years.

“It gives me a real sense of accomplishment to see where she was a few years ago and where she’s been able to come to now in reference to her ability to paint and her growth as an artist,” Kehrt said.
