Attendees will be treated to over 80 of Carson Overstreet’s various artworks at her featured artist showcase. Raised in Bedford, Overstreet’s works include landscapes and floral paintings as well as figurative pieces. Overstreet talked about her humble beginnings and early love for art. “So when I was a child, I made art all the time, and it was sort of like my identity. I was good at art. I came from a family of very talented artists, my grandfather grew up in North Carolina and left North Carolina and went to art school in DC,” Overstreet said. “I just had a very supportive family that supported my art growing up. And then when I was in high school, I fell in love with history. And I went to school and studied history in graduate school in college and I worked in nonprofits for about 13 years post school. So I like the first part of my life was really about art, like the first 18 years and then the next 18 years I didn’t have much art in my life at all.”
