Artist and artCentral Board Member JASON SHELFER

Each year my Mom asks me what I want for Christmas, and I try to make my responses an equal mix of constructive and audacious.
The sewing machine Christmas launched my textile creations...and these sculptures are the result of my Lincoln Arc Welder Christmas. Once I had begun creating pieces from the objects I had on hand (and displaying them in my yard), friends began to give me metal. I could not do most of these without my dear friends slash patrons, particularly, the Ball Family! They have opened up their farm to be artistically plundered on numerous occasions...J.T.A.S. |

“My Great Great Grandfather permanently moved to Carthage in 1918 where he was appointed to serve as Street Commissioner and eventually passed away at his home on Maple Street. My Great Grandfather worked for 23 years at Carter Hardware until he became a Deputy Clerk at the Jasper County Courthouse until his death at McCune-Brooks.
My Grandfather graduated from Carthage High in 1929. At one point he was a credit manager for the Carthage Marble Corporation
and was the owner/operator of the local Buena Vista Dairy. My mother graduated Carthage High School in 1967 and has been
a very active volunteer to numerous local organizations.”
