| "Jenean Hornbuckle paints mountain landscapes in oil
on canvas. She believes that her ability to see beauty in
landscapes has been passed down over the years from her Cherokee
ancestors. Born on the Qualla Boundary, Jenean Hornbuckle attended Swain County High School, Appalachian State University, and finally Western Carolina University, where she obtained a Batchelor of Fine Arts degree. Her father worked as a forester, protecting and preserving the mountains, and Jenean's paintings also preserve the beauty of the mountains in artistic form. While the aesthetics of her paintings come from traditional Cherokee culture, she developed her technical skill of painting in high school and college fine arts classes. Jenean Hornbuckle's impressive, large canvases have been exhibited in several shows at the Museum of the Cherokee Indian, and her work also hangs in Harrah's Cherokee Casino. Jenean Hornbuckle has been instrumental in starting the Seven Clans Art Guild, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping Cherokee artists show and sell their work. From November to March, Jenean Hornbuckle is available to travel anywhere. From April through October, she operates her own business in Cherokee. She fee is negotiable and should include travel expenses. She can demonstrate painting for a festival crowd or smaller audience, and can teach art classes as well. She provides her own materials but would need easels for displaying her work." Jenean Hornbuckle |
