Jeanne Seagle brings Memphis Gardens to life in a new watercolor exhibit

Over the course of her fruitful career, Memphis artist Jeanne Seagle has become known for her drawings, illustrations, and paintings, as well as for her work as a teacher and designer of public art.

She has experimented with different styles and media, from realism to abstraction, from watercolors to oil pastels. Her mosaics and sculptures include pieces at the trolley stop platforms on Madison Avenue, LeBonheur Children's Hospital, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

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.
