Nan Jacobsohn wows the audience


Nan Jacobsohn's Thirteen Horses show "kicked off" on March 14th with a private luncheon hosted by Jerri Meldrum inside Turning Point Gallery. Nan presented the work and told the stories along her journey to become a full time artist. Each horse sculpture was inspired by that journey.

Pat Nelson, owner of Carolina Cleaners, best described the whole event and the work as "amazing and very inspirational". Click here to see all of the Thirteen Horses.

Thirteen Horses - The Journey" is about my journey of self discovery; taking the leap of becoming a full-time artist after decades of working as an art educator and museum administrator. I have used horses in my art work to represent both life's journey and as a metaphorical representation of women in general. They embody for me great beauty and strength, qualities we as women, covet for ourselves. In "Thirteen Horses," I explore the range of emotions encountered on a quest for a new life and an artistic voice. The 13 horses speak for me. -Nan
