Tennessee State Artist-in-Residence

HR Lovell

(Artist-in-Residence 2001-2003)

H. R. Lovell designated as Tennessee's official artist-in-residence by House Joint Resolution 435 of 2000 for 2001 - 2003. The resolution stated that the official artist-in-residence will express the spirit and assets of Tennessee through his works.

H. R. Lovell was born and raised in Cheatham County, Tennessee, where his life is still very much centered. A realist, the paintings in watercolor and egg tempera touch on ordinary moments from our lives - straightforward reminders of our heritage. He enriches us all with his art, which beautifully portrays the peaceful moments in life which touch all of us. His choice of subject and obvious love of painting have earned him a following which includes other artists, such as R. C. Gorman, the acclaimed Native American painter. Mr. Lovell's work has also been shown at The Renassaince Center in Dickson, TN, The James-Ben Gallery in Franklin, TN, The Ocoee exhibit near Chattanooga, and has also been shown with R.C. Gorman

Although Mr. Lovell's primary goal is not commercial success, his choice of subject and obvious love of painting have earned him a following which includes other artists, such as R. C. Gorman, the acclaimed Native American painter.

Mr. Lovell enriches us all with his art, which beautifully portrays the peaceful moments in life which touch all of us. We continue to benefit from the perspective of a mind which cares deeply for the quiet moments in this world.
