Dixie Leibert has been chosen to judge All Creatures Great and Small!
We are delighted to announce that Dixie Leibert will be judging our upcoming show, All Creatures Great and Small. Not only will she be judging the show, but she will be critiquing the show for students at 10 AM on Saturday, April 6th. Students will be judged separately. Please see her bio attached below.
My name is Dixie Leibert, I’ve been involved in art for many years. My interest in art began when my high school art teacher entered one of my paintings in the Lord and Taylor Art Show in New York City.
After graduation from high school, I attended a two-year college for Advertising Art and Design. I then transferred my credits to the State University of New York for 3 more years. I taught on Long Island several years. My husband and I then moved to Kansas City, Missouri. Shortly after, I began teaching art in the K - 12 system in both the Kansas City and County school system. While in Kansas City I attended the Kansas City Art Institute and took classes at the University of Missouri, Kansas City.
From there, in retirement, my husband and I moved to Morehead City, North Carolina. I began my own career in my favorite media of watercolor. I began showing my work in places such as the Mattie King Davis Gallery and in Swansboro, North Carolina. Then I began entering art competitions starting with the Silver Arts, Art from the Heart, Bank of the Arts in New Bern, and the Onslow Art Society shows. Recently I achieved Master Signature status in the North Carolina Watercolor Society. The Masters status signifies being juried into 15 shows.
Success does wonders to encourage an artist. The first time I entered the North Carolina Watercolor Society I was greeted at the show by teachers and students all talking at once about my entry. My painting, “Enchanted by Harry”, was a painting of a young girl sitting all alone on a beach chair reading one of the Harry Potter books. It won the Bob Timberlake Purchase Award and was selected by the students of Gastonia. This painting now has a place of Honor in Gastonia’s High School Library.
Another interest my husband and I have here in Morehead City is Carteret Community Theatre. Bob and I have been involved with the designing and building of sets for a number of plays. Hurricane Florence has temporarily shut down the theatre, but other places have kindly taken us in, and the theatre is still very much alive.
Currently, I have a small show of Watercolor Paintings at the Bogue Banks Library on Atlantic Beach. The Artwork will be there until March 28, 2019. Please stop by!
