Mississippi artist’s work featured
Memory Webb’s painting of Webb’s General Store will be a featured prize in a drawing to help raise money for the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi. Webb is a native and life long resident of Mississippi.
She attended school to become a paralegal but her love for the art has always been present. Since August of 2005, Webb has been capturing scenes from her beloved Mississippi using watercolors and acrylics.
She credits her parents for instilling in her the courage and faith to pursue her dream of being an artist. She hopes that this attitude will enable her to continue capturing Mississippi life using other mediums such as oils.
Although her paintings are typically categorized as Southern folk art, Webb is quick to point out that her artwork is just a little different than most Southern folk art.
She uses family photos, conversations with the elderly about yesteryear, travel and scenes from around Mississippi to inspire her creations.
Webb uses bright colors to emphasize the scene she is painting and in many of her landscapes her signature trees with a hole at the base of the trunk will make an appearance.
With the abundance of natural beauty Webb has found throughout the South, she does not have trouble finding the subject of her next painting, it is the time to complete the projects that is often hard to come by. Examples of Webb’s art can be found online at .
