A New Show in the Overcash Gallery

Posted on 10/18/2022 by Amelia Zytka

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

All sales from this show will go to the Kappy McCleneghan Art Scholarship fund to help the next generation make their way into the art field.
