Oxford American’s list of “new superstars of Southern art” includes several Asheville artists. Here’s who was included:

-Larkin Ford, described as someone who “can draw anything with a beautiful authority that cannot be taught.”

-Kreh Mellick, described as an artist who “balances delicately rendered pen-and-ink figures with crisp, bold strokes of red gouache, all set in a landscape void of detail.”

-Lisa Klakulak also got a mention, but no description.

-Boone artist Peter Glenn Oakley also got a mention.
