Meet Our Artist-in-Residence
Amanda Nicholas
In
April 2012, Pocosin Arts Folk School welcomes their newest resident
artist, Amanda
Nicholas. Amanda brings a wealth of artistic experience to our area and
is
looking forward to her time in eastern North Carolina. She received her
MFA in
Drawing from the University of North Carolina, Greensboro in 2011, and
her BFA
from East Carolina University in 2009. In recent work, Ms. Nicholas
uses
drawing to communicate her perceptual experiences of wooded landscapes.
Created
over many visits, the drawings explore ideas of time, place, and the
unexpected. In addition to drawing, she also works with a variety of
media,
including painting, and monotype printmaking. Primarily a landscape
artist,
Amanda is excited about the opportunity to explore the Pocosin region
of North
Carolina. You can see Amanda's work by visiting her website at amandaknicholas.com

After Hurricane Irene
On August 27, 2011 Hurricane Irene
passed over Pocosin Arts Folk School depositing
14 inches of rain. The Scuppernong River flooded the town of
Columbia and inundated
the first floor of Pocosin Arts with 24 inches of contaminated river
water. This was a historic
flood event in Columbia, and many in our
region are still recovering.
With the help and hard work of our friends and neighbors, Pocosin Arts
Folks School is
currently in the process of reopening our first floor. However, we
still have lots going on here
on Main Street and other locations! Check our site often to see what
we're up to, and be sure
to become our fan on Facebook
for up-to-the-minute information.
