  Reception of Window Into the Soul: The Work of Amanda Renfrow 

  Join us Friday, June 26, from 5 to 7 pm for the reception of Window into the Soul, an exhibition of 25 stained-glass works by Amanda Renfrow, which offers a retrospective of her eight-year practice. This event will also celebrate the parallel exhibition, Mosaic Mountain, an exhibition formed during a five-day art camp with middle and high school students. Renfrow was this year's featured artist, leading campers through their creations and inspiring them with her own artistry.   

  A native of Oklahoma, Renfrow moved to Appalachia in 2018 and began her artistic practice in glass. Starting as an apprentice to Steve Cook, a renowned glass artist in Jonesborough, Renfrow has since gained notoriety, with work frequently exhibited and housed in private and public collections, including the Reece Museum Permanent Collection. "This exhibition brings together works that trace my artistic development from the smallest butterfly to the largest sun, reflecting the evolution of my approach over time,” says Renfrow. 

  Window into the Soul will be on view through December 4.
