Verdant Stories | Gallery 1091

Kacky Walton interviews fiber artist Suzanne Martin. She’s part of the current exhibit “Verdant Stories” at WKNO’s Gallery 1091, along with her sister Janet Weed Beaver and niece Melanie Beaver, whose paintings will be on display.

The exhibit is heavily inspired by nature, and is an experience of visual storytelling with paint and fiber. Their work will be on view through March 29.

I owe my radio career to the Ford Motor Company. My daddy had a Ford dealership in our hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi, and he thought it would be cute if his 7-year old daughter did his radio commercials. The pay wasn't great, just a pack of Wrigley's gum, but I was hooked on radio from then on.
