Letters to the Alumni Association – Jim Cantrell

Dear UNC Alumni Association,

Jim Cantrell has won the 1st Place in Watercolor Award for his painting "Barn near Murphy's Park" at the prestigious “First Brush of Spring” Plein Air Event in New Harmony, Indiana. Approximately 150 artists from around the country participated in the paint-out from April 15-17th sponsored by the Indiana Plein Air Painters Association.

Cantrell earned his Master of Arts degree from the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley in 1965 with a double emphasis in ceramics & painting. He maintains his studio at the Bardstown Art Gallery, 214 W Stephen Foster Ave. He has painted many local scenes in the Historic District as well as capturing numerous local people in his artworks. His work can seen and purchased at the art gallery.  

Thank you,
Jeannette Cantrell
