“Inner Chambers, Secret Rooms” to be featured at next Live@Lanier event

 

TRYON—The next Live@Lanier event will feature a presentation titled “Inner Chambers, Secret Rooms.” Taking place at Lanier Library on Wednesday, July 30, at 1 p.m., the event is for anyone who accepts the premise that creativity is like a mansion with endless doors opening to revelations and inspirations. Guided by artists and poets featured in the Equinox Journal, the audience will explore creativity through images, words, and insights.

Speakers will include Priscilla Frake, Janet Orselli, Patricia Sahertian, Roe Sonye Sprouls and Vanessa Zimmer-Powell. Frake is the author of Correspondence, a book of epistolary poems, plus work in Verse Daily, Nimrod, The New Welsh Review, and more. She is also a studio jeweler in Asheville.

Orselli is a multidisciplinary artist with an extensive exhibition history in sculptural assemblage and drawing. Artist-in-Residencies include Kaiserslautern, Germany, and the 701 Center for Contemporary Art in Columbia, SC. She has taught drawing at Spartanburg Community College and Converse College.

Sahertian draws inspiration from her Greek and Irish ancestry for her works, which are displayed both locally and internationally, encompassing paintings, printmaking, collage, ceramic sculpture, graphic design, and more. She is a curator and creator of many historical exhibitions.

Sprouls taught writing for 33 years at Stockton University, Pomona, NJ. Author of the chapbook, More Possum than Turtle, her poems have been widely published, including The Boston Literary Magazine and The Red Wheel Barrow Anthology. 

Zimmer-Powell, Equinox Art Editor, is a photographer, filmmaker, graphic designer, and award-winning poet. Her poetry has aired on the radio and been selected for numerous journals and anthologies.
