Our Current Exhibit

The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center is pleased to present Brushstrokes of Brilliance Works by Three Award Winning Watercolorists. The exhibit of watercolor paintings by local artists Donna Pierce-Clark, Kathy Moeller and Jeanette B. Ferguson will be on display August 29^th – October 5th. A reception honoring the artist is scheduled for Friday, August 29th from 5:00 to 6:45 pm. Attending the reception is a wonderful way to meet the artists and gain insight into their work and process. The reception and exhibit are free and open to the public.

This exhibition showcases the talents of three watercolor artists who have consistently garnered recognition for their masterful command of the medium. Each artist brings a unique voice and perspective to the show, creating a diverse and compelling collection of works. Donna Pierce-Clark, an Ohio Watercolor Society Signature member, explores the interplay of light, color, and composition throughout her landscapes, portraits and still lifes. Kathy Moeller creates beautiful botanical paintings, and is known for her paintings of old buildings, capturing their character through a combination of color, light, shadow, and a masterful use of multiple watercolor texture techniques. Jeanette B Ferguson, also an Ohio Watercolor Society Signature member, focuses on a variety of subjects while demonstrating her dedication to intricate detail and the calming effect of her brushstrokes and color. Together, these three artists present a captivating exhibition that highlights the depth, versatility, and emotional power of watercolor painting.

PAINTINGS BY KRISTIFERLEE OWENS

Thru November 2nd

Due to a physical condition that prevents me from using my hands, Jesus gave me the gift that helped me to develop a unique method of painting using my head. I wear a specially designed band or head strap that securely holds a brush or other painting tool in place. By moving my head with intention and precision, I am able to guide the brush across the canvas and bring my creative vision to life.

This process requires patience, control and a deep connection between mind and movement. While it presents its own set of challenges, it has also become an integral part of my artistic identity. Painting this way allows me not only to express myself but also demonstrate that creativity has no limits when driven by determination and passion.

Our Next Exhibit

Opening Reception - Friday, October 10, 2025 Free and open to the public

A wonderful way to meet the artist, enjoy refreshments and learn more about the artist's creative process.

The Static Between Us explores the unseen distance that can exist between people—even when they share the same space. While technology plays a subtle role in shaping modern connection, this collection leans into the deeper, more enduring mystery of what it means to truly see and understand one another. Through portraits and the human form, the work invites us to pause and consider the inner lives behind the faces we encounter. There is noise in the world—digital, emotional, and existential—but through empathy and intentional observation, perhaps we can quiet that static and begin to bridge the gap.

In conjunction with the exhibit, award-winning artist and instructor John Middick, is offering a 5-hour hands-on drawing experience where students will complete a portrait drawn in colored pencil, from layout to final details. Faces in Focus: Mastering Portraits with Solvent-Enhanced Colored Pencil is scheduled for Saturday, November 1 from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm. The fee for the workshop is $75. Students will be required to bring supplies. Please visit https://www.troyhayner.org/class-painting-drawing for a complete workshop description. Pre-registration is required for the workshop.
