The Tails of the City art exhibit featuring works by Sally Ham Govan will remain on display at The Gallery at The Washington Theatre in Patterson Park Community Center through March 30.

“I have two distinct styles: charcoal drawings of the dog in lieu of the human figure, and colorfully illustrated scenes of urban life drawn with a stylus on a computer tablet,” said Govan. “I was afraid of dogs until I started drawing them and turned that story into a children’s picture book.”

Govan also draws dog portraits on commission, and she illustrated a children’s book as part of her master’s thesis. Govan received an MFA in illustration from the University of Hartford and a BFA in studio art with concentrations in drawing and graphic design from the University of Tennessee. She teaches graphic design, typography and 2-D computer illustration at Cumberland University, and has designed and edited various publications and marketing materials.

Admission to the art gallery is free.
