While 28605 may be a familiar number, seven women artists from the High Country have found creative ways to express the extraordinary area encompassed by the Blowing Rock, N.C. zip code. The group of women have met twice a month for over 12 years inspiring and critiquing each other’s work. “We are ​​bound together by a love of art and inspired by creative thinking and ideas,” says LaMae Strange. Preferring oil painting as her medium, Strange is one of the featured artists for the 28605 exhibit. They have limited their impressions of objects, buildings, and scenes in the selected artistic medium. Other featured artists in the exhibit include Theresa Early (fabric art, quilting), Kat Leahey (mixed media), Ellie Lyne (photography), Priscilla Popper (photography), Linda Dease Smith (fabric art, mixed media), and Annie Stone (fabric art, mixed media).These women have limited their impressions of objects, buildings, and scenes in their selected artistic medium to reflect the unique geographical and cultural qualities of the Blowing Rock area.
