HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. - ncarol.com -- In 2013, the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts began an annual show highlighting the work of a local writer by responding visually to his or her work.
The work of North Carolina poet, Jeffery Beam, will be the focus of this year's show. The gallery's 20 artists have each chosen a poem from Mr. Beam's body of work as inspiration for a piece of art in their chosen medium.
Sculptor Lynn Wartski has based her piece, "Dryad Slumber," on Beam's poem, "The Green Man's Man," Most of her recent sculptural work has dealt with animal forms, so this was a welcome opportunity to create a figurative piece; in "Dryad Slumber," Wartski represents a figure who blurs the lines between plant and animal, giving the viewer a peek at the inner life of a forest nymph.
Scratchboard artist, Sally Terrell, was inspired by Jeffery Beam's poem, "Credo." Terrell was drawn to Beam's idea of communicating through unspoken rather than spoken words. The truth of this message, as well as the addition of a chickadee in the last stanza, confirmed Terrell's choice of this poem for her beautiful piece, "The Periwinkle and the Chickadee."
Nancy Smith created a portrait inspired by Jeffery Beam's poem, "Ars Poetica: the Queen." Her portrait, "Following the Goddess, Jewel of the Hive," was created using a variety of media, including bees wax. In describing her inspiration from the poem, Smith writes, "I was reminded that, like the queen bee, we exist in a world of our own creation. And like her, our creation is built not by us alone, but always in collaboration with others. I think her message is that there is a great responsibility in discerning guidance from other beings in our lives."

The images in Jeffery Beam's poetry provided fertile inspiration for the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts' 20 visual artists. Their work will be on display from February 11th through March 23rd with a reception in the gallery on February 28th from 6-9pm during Hillsborough's Last Friday Art Walk. In addition, HGA will host a reading by Mr. Beam in the gallery on Sunday, February 23rd from 4-6pm. Both events are free and open to the public.
