PROFILE: Adair County artist Charles Lemons Columbia artist's work on exhibit at Campbellsville University Art Gallery through Nov. 2, 2007 By Joan C. McKinney, director of university communications Charles Lemons, from Columbia, is exhibiting wildlife and Indian paintings and sculptures at Campbellsville University's Art Gallery through November 2, 2007. His show is open to the public, Mondays through Fridays, from 9amET8amCT to 5pmET/4pmCT, at the Art Gallery, located across University Avenue from the Gossser Fine Arts Building. Clark said, "Charles is a very talented artist, and his show is the largest we have had in the gallery for quite some time." Lemons' love is painting. He works with acrylics and watercolor and loves to paint wildlife, southwest/Indian art and scenery. Lemons' biggest accomplishment as an artist came in 2004 when he was commissioned by the City of Columbia to paint a picture of the original courthouse, which was printed and sold. Lemons has had no formal training, but, over the years, he has participated in many different art classes and shows. In Louisville, he worked out of the Metro Arts organization and did many area shows such as the St. James Art Festival and Waterfront Art Exhibits. In recent years, he has worked out of the Highland Raku Art Studio and participated in local art shows and exhibits such as the Janice Holt Giles Day and Cow Days. Lemons discovered at an early age that he had artistic abilities unlike anyone he knew. He began drawing at the age of seven and soon after began painting. He said, with encouragement of teachers and family, he continued to hone his talent by hours of practicing. By the time he reached high school, he was encouraged to pursue his art as a career, but it seemed like too great of a chance to him. He went to work at a factory where he could support his family, but he continued to paint and draw, and he also enjoyed pottery, ceramics, woodworking and restoring and painting classic cars. Lemons is a 1968 graduate of Western High School. He worked and retired from Ford Motor Company. He and his wife, Deborah Sue Lowery Lemons, have been married 38 years and have two children, Christi and Richard, and five grandchildren. He loves sharing his talent and knowledge with others and hopes to continue his art for years to come. Everyone is invited to the free exhibit.
