The Battle of Shallow Ford: An Exibition of Words and Watercolors

"The Battle of Shallow Ford: An Exhibition of Words and Watercolors" is a collection of "watercolors" by master craftsman Rick Jones, accompanied by storyboards of "words" by artist and writer, Marilyn Ingram. The story, unfolding during a time where there were no cameras, cell phones, or even a typewriter, is told through the eyes of artists, field correspondents who would paint, draw or write a journal. The paintings include scenes at the Shallow Ford and nearby battle area, Moravian settlements along the great wagon road, and annual commemoration in Huntsville, NC. The words are researched through works including "Records of the Moravians" and NC State Archives. Opening Friday, July 4th at North Trade Street Arts during
"DADA 1st Friday Gallery Hop", 7-10 PM. Show runs weekends through July 2025. Presented by Lewisville Area Arts Council, Battle of Shallow Ford, NCSDAR, America 250 NC #America250NC
