Exhibit @ Montevallo's Parnell Memorial Libary

The 2011 Winter Exhibit in the Parnell Memorial Library Gallery will feature works by Jesse Cunningham, potter, and Paul Cordes Wilm, painter. The exhibit will open on Monday, January 24, and will close on Friday, March 11, 2011. The gallery talks and reception honoring the two artists will be held on Sunday, January 30, at 2:00 p. m. at the library. The public is invited to attend. The exhibit and reception are sponsored by the Montevallo Arts Council (www.montevalloartscouncil.org).

Jesse Cunningham, born in Fairfield, California, lived in places as different as Alaska and Chilton County, Alabama during his growing up years as he and his military family moved frequently. A graduate of the University of Montevallo, he has taught visual arts for almost twenty-one years. He is presently teaching in the Shelby County School System as well as producing sculpture and pursuing his interest in photography.

Paul Cordes Wilm calls himself a Southern painter, since he grew up in Mobile and now lives in Birmingham. He is a full-time artist whose work has been called "Folk-Pop," a term that Paul has decided to use, though "most of the pieces lean more to the 'Pop' side of things." His works, often tinged with humor and sarcasm, embody his strong commitment to recycling, since they are created largely from recycled materials.

The Library Gallery is free and open to the public during regular library hours: MWF: 10:00 a. m.-5:00 p. m., TTH: 10:00 a. m.-8:00 p. m., and Sat.: 10:00 a. m.-1:00 p. m.
