Art by Beverly Sheveland at Von Anthony Salon - Experience Pure, Visceral Joy Through Color, Light and Texture



Throughout the year, the work of local artists adorn the walls of Von Anthony Salon.

Currently, we are honored to be surrounded by the bold, bright prints of Beverly Sheveland.

Sheveland recently made a transition from living in Dallas to living in East Texas. The transition involved learning to adeptly operate chainsaws, logger’s hooks, and a woodchipper to clear the woods for a home, an art studio (the first thing built!), and a quarter mile road to reach them. After settling into a routine that includes mending fence, working the woods, shooting copperheads and caring for snakebit dogs, Sheveland has recently been able to turn her attention to painting.

“Though my beginnings were in illustration I have always been intrigued by color, particularly the push/pull and depth that color alone can create.

As I paint I delight in the sensual effects of heavy textural paint on canvas, an emotional experience I want to share with my audience.

In today’s world, we are constantly bombarded by sophisticated digital images. In response, I strive to create simple, pure, visceral joy through elemental color, light and texture."

All of Beverly's pieces are available for purchase. We encourage you to stop by the salon for a tour and to be intrigued by the colors in Beverly's work.
