Cherokee Culture Series: Artist & Storyteller Nancy Pheasant
The Jackson County Public Library will host artist and storyteller Nancy Pheasant on Tuesday, June 10th at 6pm. A member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee, Nancy’s deep connection to her heritage is woven into every piece she creates. Over the years, she has mastered a variety of mediums, from traditional beadwork and pottery to intricate shell carvings and beyond. Many of her designs are inspired by ancient iconography paying homage to the visual language crafted by her ancestors. 'By learning, creating and practicing these traditional arts, I share my heritage and culture with others,' she states. Following in her father's footsteps she has become a respected storyteller committed to preserving and promoting the rich culture of the Cherokee people. As a cherished member of the Cherokee Storytellers group she captivates audiences of all ages by recounting traditional oral histories and legends passed down through generations.
This program is part of the Cherokee Culture Series which was made possible by the generous grant given by The Jackson County Arts Council. This program is free and open to the public. The Jackson County Public Library is a member of the Fontana Regional Library. For more information please call 828-586-2016.
