Family, childhood memories, and exploring the history of Greene County are themes found in Mike Durham’s show at the Mason House Gallery at The General Morgan Inn sponsored by the Greeneville Arts Council. The show will run for the month of October.

A talented artist and bluegrass musician, Mike has put together a collection of memories using, Pen & Ink, Oil , Watercolor and pencil interpreting scenes found around his home. Mike tells stories with his art about life in our beautiful mountains. A world traveler due to his father’s military career, his work reflects the memories of the summers spent here in Greene County on the family farm and surrounding community. He was always coming back home and finally staying here and raising a family of his own.

Many of the pieces of art will be familiar both in what he chose to create and the feelings they evoke in the viewer. His mastery of light and play of shadows, and the use of color showing “how it really looks” makes a trip wandering through Greene County an outing you don’t want to miss. As Mike has previously stated, “Getting all this together is like a homecoming for my memories. I know you can feel it, too.”

Mike’s work will be on exhibit in the Mason House Gallery during October. The public is invited to meet the artist on Friday, October 2nd, from 5:00 – 7:00. For further information on this or other exhibits, please contact Til Green, director of exhibitions, at 423-329-5366, visit www.thegreenevilleartscouncil.org or find us on Facebook.

The Greeneville Arts Council has announced the opening of an exciting new exhibition by two well-known regional artists in the Mason House Gallery in The General Morgan Inn. Entitled “Force of Nature—Paintings, Jewelry and Photography,” the exhibition will open on September 1 and run through September 30, 2026

The gallery will host a special “Meet the Artists” reception on September 1, 5-7pm. Anyone who attends the opening reception will be able to take 10% off the price of any pieces they choose to acquire. Both artists—Amy Benedict of Asheville, NC and Terri Haught —will be available to discuss the works of art. Live music will be provided.

Terri Haught, a Fine Arts graduate and former graphic designer, says she has been an artist for “as long as she can remember”. She discovered her love of jewelry while designing promotional pieces for a jewelry trade show. She is inspired by symmetry which is in all of nature and echoed in the faceting of gemstones. Combining complementary colors and crafting designs resulting in an unexpected one-of-a-kind piece.

Amy is a musician, dancer and oil painter drawing inspiration from the vibrancy and awe of nature as well as from the feeling from her favorite culinary flavors and memories of sharing a meal with friends and family. Amy currently has work displayed in Asheville as well as Robins on Roan in Johnson City TN.

Ronnie Luttrell is the featured artist at the Mason House Gallery inside of the General Morgan Inn for the month of June. The exhibit will be available to view through the month of June. A meet-the-artist opening will be held in the gallery on Thursday, June 4th, from 5-7:00. The public is invited to this free event.

Ronnie writes:

"I am a Greene County native, self taught artist painting in oils, or acrylics. Although many subjects appeal to me, l primarily portray western themes, horses, cows, and landscapes. I have been inspired by the Old Masters, tonalist, and luminist painters, and hopefully my works represent these styles. I get great satisfaction in seeing the emotions of those viewing my work. I trust that my work reflects my enjoyment of this God-given talent, and conveys my personal connection to the world around me."
