A series of ten painted portraits, Knoxville Creatives Review is part art exhibition and part Knoxville art history project. It is an extension of Patsy White’s 2018 series, The Locals, which included ten portraits of visual artists living in Knoxville. Knoxville Creatives Review expands on the subject matter to include portraits of individuals practicing in a wider scope of artistic mediums from fashion to music and beyond. It serves as a time capsule of the range of creative excellence existing in our city as well as a sampling of the standouts who call Knoxville home.

Patsy Ferrell White is a self-taught, fine art painter living and working in Knoxville. Her process is simple, from the head, through the hand and to the medium without digital aids or tracing in any form; all work is completely done by freehand.

With a passion for portraits and figurative painting, her medium of choice is acrylic paints on canvas.
