Prior Artist:

Chuck Craver - Chuck Craver makes his home in Panama City Beach, Florida, after moving there from Albany, Georgia in 1992. Craver retired from law enforcement after 32 years. He began painting bottles as a hobby in 1997 at the age of 72. Using acrylics as his medium, he brought landscapes and animals to life on the small face of wine bottles. After much encouragement, he graduated his talent to canvas. He honors the South by concentrating on scenes of moss filled trees, old southern buildings, and waterways. He still has fun painting animals and even captures their whimsical side. Over the years, Craver has tried his hand at several different painting techniques to add to his artistic style. Craver has participated in the Camilla Invitational Art Show and was the Featured Artist in 2004 where he paid tribute to several scenes of Camilla and the surrounding area. This year, at the age of 82, he celebrates and shares 10 years of his artistic gift.

Kay Eubanks - Born and raised in Camilla, Georgia, people have enjoyed Kay's photography for over 20 years.

Chelsea Dudley - Born and raised in Pelham, Georgia, people often asked Chelsea how she discovered her love of art. "It’s been in my soul for as long as I can remember" is Chelsea's response. In high school her art teacher and mentor, Paula Parsons inspired her to take a closer look at what was in her heart. She studied hard, took every art class available and entered contests and shows around Mitchell County. Chelsea won several awards in the Pelham Wildlife Art Shows and received a scholarship from the Camilla Invitational Art Show in 2002. From there she went on to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), where she studied under the watchful eye of Professor Ching Chang Hung, a master portrait artist. Chelsea returned to her hometown in 2005 to pursue her career as an artist. She has been featured in and displayed her work in many different shows and contests around South Georgia.

Chelsea currently owns and operates Chelsea’s Art and Soul, at 113 Mclaughin Street Pelham Georgia; where she displays her own work of both art and photography. She also does custom work and murals. She has just recently ventured into custom designs on furniture and other decorative items.

Photography is another one of the many things Chelsea has to offer. Her style is different and untraditional in many ways, but her unique style has landed her one published photo in a photography contest with over 6,000 contests. She currently offers photography for both weddings and private photo shoots, but always has an eye out for new models to use in her portfolio.

Chelsea has also had success in the local music scene. She was the personal photographer for the rock band Forgotten Days out of Pelham Georgia, and designed the album art and manufactured there album "Hollow Soul". Chelsea has also designed the album "Shot of Whiskey" for the band DAY II. Currently she has started working with the Moultrie base rock band Gunboat Diplomacy with there upcoming album
