Throughout the year the Guild features a member as the Artist of the Month. The artist showcases their work in their own exhibit in part of our Gallery.

Less Talk, More Art

Mixed Media Show by Jean Northington
June 5 - 30, 2025

Get ready to feel the rhythm, color, and energy of Less Talk, More Art—a vibrant mixed-media art show that invites you to move, feel, and celebrate pure creative motion. Each piece in this dynamic collection features a bold figure mid-dance or stretch, brought to life with hand-painted collage papers layered over graffiti-inspired canvases.

 

Jean Northington is the artist behind Less Talk, More Art.  With a background in photography, Jean brings an experienced eye for composition and storytelling into her mixed-media practice. Her works often blend photographic elements with painted collage, acrylic, and an array of mark-making techniques. Swirls of color, spontaneous doodles, layered textures, and joyful gestures explode off the canvas, reminding us that art doesn’t whisper—it shouts!
