Joplin Arts Fest welcomes painter Ivey Zoellers for our 10th Anniversary show at the Cornell Complex. Find her lively and colorful paintings on the Leggett & Platt Green on September 20 & 21!
 
“Using acrylic paint on canvas, I endeavor to encapsulate the essence of the vibrant tapestry of local wildlife and the profound connections they foster within our shared ecosystem, breathing life into their forms through a symphony of bold colors and expressive strokes.
 
By employing vivid hues and bold marks, I seek to convey not just the physical presence of these creatures, but also the vitality and spirit that defines them.
I delve into the realm of symbolism, infusing my work with layers of meaning associated with my chosen subjects. Whether it be the resilience of a soaring eagle or the delicate balance of a butterfly’s flight, each animal embodies profound narratives that resonate deeply with our human experience.”
