Melanie Myhre’s work will be exhibited in the Museum Gallery. Melanie is a multidisciplinary artist working in photography and painting, creating intuitive, emotion‑driven work rooted in dreams, memories, and the quiet magic of the natural world. Her photography captures dreamlike, immersive scenes in camera, often featuring women in nature to explore the interplay of femininity, strength, and the landscapes of her childhood. Melanie’s paintings, made without reference photos, emerge through a flow‑state process and draw on archetypal stories, recurring dreams, and inner emotional terrain. Together, these mediums reveal a symbolic, layered world that feels both intimate and alive. Her work has been featured in numerous publications, including Sony Alpha Universe and Sigma Corporation, and they are a recipient of the Sony Alpha Female Micro Grant.

The Lobby Gallery will showcase the art of Lee Ann Billups Blevins. Lee Ann is a Kenova, West Virginia native and retired Cabell County art educator whose oil portraits and landscapes reflect her skill in capturing the spirit and presence of her subjects. A Marshall University graduate, she has exhibited at the Huntington Museum of Art, Gallery Eleven, Grayson Gallery, Parkersburg Art Center, the Mathena Center, and Tamarack. Her wildlife paintings have appeared in West Virginia Department of Natural Resources calendars, and her piece Blue Ribbon Winner served as the official 2023 West Virginia State Fair poster. Recent honors include Best of Show for Bella in the 2024 Allied Artists of WV Juried Exhibition, along with acceptances into multiple statewide juried shows. Blevins also carved the giant pumpkin for the Kenova Pumpkin House in 2022 and 2023. Inspired by nature and adventure, she strives to create artwork that is both inviting and thought provoking.
