Springfield, OH
Annette Eshelman’s Appalachian heritage and faith have guided her creative outlet. Her B.S. in Art and Home Economics from Georgetown College in Georgetown, Kentucky set her on a path of exploring and experimenting with fabric and fiber arts. While pursuing an MFA at Bowling Green State University, Annette participated extensively in solo, group, and juried exhibitions, receiving numerous awards for her work. In 2007, Annette returned to her “home place” in South Point, Ohio with her husband and two young daughters for 18 months to re-immerse herself in the Appalachian culture and LifeWays. Annette maintains a home studio where she both continues to create new works for exhibitions and accepts commissions for private and religious collections.
