Join us on Friday, November 14 from 6-8 pm at the Refill Jackson Initiative for a showing and silent auction of recent works by Chip Sheppard, a Jackson-based painter. All proceeds will benefit Refill Jackson – admission is free to the public, but tickets must be reserved in advance by registering here.
Artist bio: Chip Sheppard grew up on the Ross Barnett Reservoir before making Jackson his home in the early 2000’s. He has worked the last 20 years in oil paint, both plein-air and in his studio. Chip‘s interests lie in the lasting heritage of Jackson’s history, a subject he has spent the better part of a decade researching. His paintings are meant to focus along the roads leading out of Jackson, and the anachronous landmarks of the past in the present day. He was recently featured in the 202o Mississippi Invitational at the Mississippi Museum of Art, and received statewide and local press for his show “The Past isn’t Permanent,” featuring Impressionist era paintings painstakingly recreated on white board using dry-erase markers.
