ANDERSON Citizen-Times Correspondent CHEROKEE Beginning Saturday, Aug. 20, an art show titled "Cherokee Legends" will open at the Museum of the Cherokee Indian.

Museum director Ken Blank-enship and Marcellina Ross, show coordinator, explained that the show was originally organized around the belief that while most native Americans appear outwardly to be like everyone else, "the heart of the Indian is still his own." Believing that Cherokees guard the past through the culture's legends, the legends and their effect on Cherokee artists form the basis of this eight-woman show. The eight invited artists are all Cherokees and will show original works based on a legend or inspired by a Cherokee legend. Explanation of the legend will accompany the artwork, all of which will be for sale. Each artist represents a special media or style, and most are award winners. The artists are interesting both individually and collectively.

Mavis Doering is a basket weaver. She learned the basics of basket weaving from her mother and furthered her techniques through formal classwork. She is listed in "Who's Who of American Indians" and "Distinguished Leaders of the World." Shan Goshorn is a photographerpainter with several art degrees who combines the two art forms. Her works have been included in prestigious shows across the United States and Canada. Diana Hudgens holds a degree in fine arts, and since becoming a full-time artist in 1984 has won 23 national awards.

Her work is collected in Austria and Germany as well as in the United Stales. Anita Caldwell Jackson's series of calico works has received much attention. She is also remembered by many for acrylic paintings in which blanket folds become mountain scenery. Within the last two years, Jackson has earned 12 national awards. Connie Jenkins is the newest member to the native American art market.

She uses a traditional flat style, and each work tells a story. Jeanelle Newman is a self-taught artist from Arkansas. Only recently has she begun competing in art shows after years of teaching. Connie Seabourn is a water-colorist with almost 20 years ex- perience. Her works have a contemporary style.

Jeanne Walker Rorex was raised in rural Oklahoma in a large family. The work and joy of country life are depicted in her paintings, which are executed in a traditional style. Rorex studied at Bacone College with Indian artist Dick West. Reviewers have commented that in Rorex's work it is easy to see the legacy of generations of strong Cherokee women. Rorex has numerous awards and is the only artist to have won the Jerome Tiger Memorial Award (Trail of Tears Art Show, Talle-quah, Okla.) for three straight years.

The "Cherokee Legends" art show will be on exhibit until Sept. 10, and one of the show's goals is to educate, not only about Cherokee legends but to also help area artists. As part of goal, the Museum of the Cherokee Indian has organized a three-day seminar. Led by Diana Hudgens, the seminar will begin on Monday, Aug. 22, at 9 a.m.

and continue each day until 4 p.m. Students may work in any medium, and each person is responsible for materials. Generally, mornings will be for demonstrations with the afternoons for individual painting or drawing. Each person will receive individual attention from instructors, and Hudgens will demonstrate her own method of tissue collage painting.
