Arrowhead Gallery ETC features Jenna Mae Lineweaver
By JoAnn Merrill
Arrowhead Gallery ETC’s featured artist for March is Jenna Mae Lineweaver. Please join her for a featured artist reception March 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the gallery.
Jenna received her BFA in oil painting from BYU in 2000. After graduation, she returned to her hometown of Chico, California where she worked in the public art field with her mentor, Dayton Claudio, creating large fiberglass pieces for cities like Tucson, Cleveland, and Ogden.
She enjoys incorporating mixed media such as fabric, paper, buttons, beads, and other found objects into her paintings. The found objects add an interesting dimension to her art and an element of surprise. Her love of poetry and literature is evident in her art as she often includes verse and writing.
“The important thing about art is that it is more than just a picture,” Lineweaver said. “For me, creating a painting is like writing a poem: It needs to create emotion and involve the viewer in the process and beauty of it. My art is visual poetry. A painting is successful if, after that first impression, you revisit it over and over again and it only becomes more meaningful.”
Arrowhead Gallery ETC is located at 68 E. Tabernacle St. in St. George.
