ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Born in Bangor, Maine in 1980, Jessica Singerman lived alternatively in France and the United States during her early life. She earned her BA magna cum laude with Highest Honors in 2002 from the College of William & Mary, Virginia, and her Masters of Fine Arts in 2004 from the University of Delaware while on a fellowship. Her watercolors are the subject of a book—“Little Watercolor Squares”—published in 2017, and her award-winning paintings and drawings are exhibited and collected internationally. Jessica rides bikes and runs, and lives in Winston-Salem, North Carolina with her husband and their son. Her paintings are abstract with references to the landscape.
Trena McNabb is a storyteller whose paintings piece together smaller scenes and overlapping images to create one cohesive narrative. Thus, each painting weaves together a story. Her paintings are unique as she leaves the white canvas background in the visual—contrasting with transparent shapes and images, and creating an overall light and bright impression on the viewer. Trena’s most notable works are large-scale, site-specific paintings. However, she also paints small-scale allegorical scenes which often unite stylized shapes with her own harmonious concept of beauty. Multi-layered montages of brightly lit, realistic, and thematically painted scenes all contribute to Trena’s distinctive style.
