Emma Serena “Queena” Stovall (1887-1980) began painting at age 62. Her art career quickly took off, with her detailed, lively, and colorful pieces masterfully depicting the simple but special moments of rural life. This exhibition has 44 of her total 49 works, showing off the culture, landscapes, and people of the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Largely recognized as a “southern memory painter” and known as the “Grandma Moses of Virginia”, Stovall encapsulated the daily activities of the region in time that have since disappeared. The exhibition also includes some of the items found in Stovall’s studio.
