An artistic celebration of all things Tennessee is the goal of a current solo exhibition at the Parthenon Museum of Nashville this fall. Featuring the work of internationally awarded Nashville native Camille Engel, “My Tennessee Home” is a fantastic display of original contemporary realism.
On view September 9 through December 31, “My Tennessee Home” is a great opportunity for Southeast residents to view the works by a highly celebrated contemporary realist painter. The paintings showcased in the exhibition were the result of nearly three years of work on the part of Engel, who presents unique and surprising depictions of state symbols such as the state beverage, cultivated and wild flowers, fruit, wild animals, insects, and more in both oil and encaustic mediums.
Alongside the brilliant works by Engel, the exhibition also includes original artworks by the 12 winners of the “My Tennessee Home Student Art Competition.” Winning student artists, grades 1 to 12, from across Middle Tennessee were chosen by Engel and artists Jan Batts and Sandra Vanderpool.
