Our guest today in the Arts Alive! studio is longtime St. Petersburg artist Neverne Covington, who has a solo exhibition, Into the Mystic, debuting Saturday at the Morean Arts Center.<\/p>\n

She\u2019ll be at the opening reception, 5-9 p.m., which just so happens to coincide with the July Second Saturday ArtWalk.<\/p>\n

\"\"Covington made a living for many years as a commercial illustrator, drawing, inking and painting everything from book covers to frozen vegetable packages (something she created is probably still on the shelves in your neighborhood Publix, as a matter of fact).<\/p>\n

Making art as a purely creative endeavor won out, however, and today she is a prolific producer of oils, watercolors, sculpture, assemblage, drawings and encaustics (painting with dyed hot wax).<\/p>\n

Many of her paintings are deeply impressionistic and almost abstract interpretations of the things she sees, hears, feels and experiences. Covington is a believer in the philosophies of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, who famously explored the balance between the conscious and unconscious mind.<\/p>\n

All of which leads directly Into the Mystic.<\/p>\n
