Check out our newest show in the Ross Gallery!

As an artist and art teacher, Malerich’s goal is to foster an environment where the art maker and the viewer can think outside of the box. Using reclaimed objects such as bookcases, instruments, and discarded furniture, Malerich finds numerous methods and compositions in each of her sculptures.   

Viewers will be treated to a variety of pieces, including “Telegraph Hill,” comprised of assemblage art inspired by personal experience. Malerich’s intuitive approach to art making can be seen throughout the exhibit as she wipes away the time-honed tradition of searching for a formal compositional elements, requiring the viewer to deeply consider the work in front of them. What is it made of? How is it put together? What is the possible significance of the materials and three-dimensional composition?

We are pleased to announce a new show in our Overcash Art Gallery

Kappy McCleneghan, A Celebration of Life, Art and Creativity. 

Exhibition Dates: October 24 – December 8

Reception: October 27 at 5 p.m.

“Kappy McCleneghan had an interest in art at a young age, drawing and painting some of her lifelong subjects (horses and dogs). After graduating from West Charlotte Kappy attended the University of North Carolina at Greenville where she studied painting and print making. After earning both her Bachelor of Fine Art and her Master of Fine Art, Kappy returned to Charlotte to pursue a life of teaching and making art. In the convening years, Kappy taught at the area colleges, including Queens University, Pfeiffer, and Central Piedmont Community College.

Kappy loved her golden retrievers which became her primary subject matter for many years. An emerging artist grant in the early nineties allowed her to expand how she explored color and depth with the dog series before moving into working with the human figure for many years. Her last series of work was print based and explored ideas of home and family. The only thing that was more important to her than her family, friends, and dogs were her students. Many an hour would go into lecture preparation so she could do the best possible job conveying the ideas and issues to her students. Known for being demanding, but fair, she was a beloved instructor.

All proceeds from this show will go to the Kappy McCleneghan Art Scholarship fund to help the next generation make their way into the art field.” ~ Keith Bryant
