Jessie Lavon is a self taught folk artist who has created her own
original style she calls "suthern'ality". Her paintings
reflect the life she knew as a child growing up on her grandmothers
cotton farm. The clothing patterns she uses in her paintings are
taken from the original cloth feed sack patterns that her grandmother
used to make her 10 children's clothing.
Some of her
works are framed with old barn wood from a nearby barn or most recently
she has started incorporating buttons, vintage jewelry and beads
into her paintings.
Most of Jessie's
memory is lost to her forever except those days on the farm. Jesse
has dug deep and planted herself for re-growth for all of us to
share. Also, Jessie LaVon is one of the original artists for who
over ten years have worked and helped design the floats for the
Demopolis, Alabama "Christmas on the River Parade" held
annually.
Jessie's art
is throughout the U.S.A., Canada and England in private collections
and galleries in Washington DC, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, South Carolina.
And continuing to grow.
Jessie's art has been shown in Kentuck Festival of the Arts , Emory
University,
The Meridian Mississippi Museum of Art, Folk Fest , Fayette Art
Museum and numerous galleries. Jessie's art is also documented at
the Library of Congress/Folkart Reading Room in Washing D.C.
The Green Apple Cross-stitch Company has chosen over 14 paintings
of Jessie's to license for their cross-stitch pattern line.
