Lander University in Greenwood, SC,
Features Works by Jennifer Stoneking-Stewart & Doug McAbee
Lander University in Greenwood, SC, will present
the exhibit, Mason's Bones, featuring the work of Jennifer
Stoneking-Stewart and Doug McAbee, on view in the
Monsanto Gallery, Feb. 14 - Mar. 11, 2011.
Jennifer Stoneking Stewart received a BFA from the University
of Tennessee, Knoxville and an MFA from Clemson University in
2007, both with an emphasis in Printmaking. Before coming to Lander
University as Assistant Professor of Art, she served as an Instructor
of Art at Belmont University from 2009-2010. She states that her
current work is a response to the surrounding environment, drawing
inspiration from the Appalachian landscape and rapidly occurring
changes, such as progression of time, death, growth, and decay.
Finding this uncontrollable events as upsetting, she uses her
process and work as an attempt to control these occurrences, even
if only temporarily.
Doug McAbee received his MFA from Winthrop University with an
emphasis in Sculpture. Before coming to Lander University as Assistant
Professor of Art, he worked as a graphic designer for 16 years
and served as adjunct faculty at Winthrop University for 8 years.
As a response to the world around him, McAbee's work consists
of bold colors, shiny surfaces and whimsical imagery. He states
that even though his artwork may often dip into serious or sinister
subject matter, he always seeks to do so with a sense of humor,
a shiny color and a spoonful of sugar.
