| Artist Biography |
Artist/Graphic Artist/Designer
Ophelia M. Chambliss has worked as a professional designer, graphic artist, and Art Director, in the educational publishing industry, for more than twenty years. She relocated from Chicago, IL to York, PA where she was most recently the Vice President of a publishing services company. She taught communication design at the local college, and works as a marketing and sales director, and new product development, for an educational publishing industry service provider.
Ophelia has been successfully exhibiting as a fine artist for several years. She has successfully exhibited at several locations throughout the country. To name a few, Ophelia participated in a group show, "The Healing Sacks" at the Robeson Gallery of Penn State University in 1999, and she currently has a piece in an exhibition, "The Flourishing Spirit" traveling Chicago area, nearing it's two year run.
She is most proud of being in a two-woman show with the renowned Dr. Samella Lewis, noted author and Art Historian, at South Shore Cultural Arts Center. The show was part of the PBS documentary, "I'll Make Me a World" in 1999. Ophelia has exhibited with the group "Sapphires and Crystals" a select group of African American Women artists in Chicago. She has been selected to participate in the nation wide, juried show, "Black Creativity" which is held annually at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.
Ms. Chambliss has also shown in a number of one-woman, and group shows throughout the Chicago area, and was one of four in a show entitled "Four by Four, four works, by four women", at the NCA gallery in Detroit, Michigan.
She works in a variety of media and styles, specializing in subject matter that is culturally based and features women. She tries to depict a variety of emotions in her African masks, in browns and earth tones, and is currently working on a full series. Much of her pastel work is bright, colorful and full of movement, and her oils are cubistic in style.
Ms. Chambliss is also a writer and poet, and has published a number of poems and short stories, and creative writing pieces. She writes prose or poetry to accompany most of her paintings, and has incorporated her art and writing to be an educational tool for diversity training and awareness for children. |
