MEET THE CURATOR
samantha ledbetter
Samantha graduated from Millsaps College in 2012 with a B.A. in Studio Art, and currently pursues prerequisites for dental school at Holmes Community College. She worked for over two years as curator for the Greater Jackson Arts Council, where she honed her perspective on the curating process. For Ledbetter, “Curating is just reaching out and grouping things you believe go together aesthetically. For instance, I curate my Instagram and Twitter accounts to present the most appealing digital version of myself.” Comparing the individual process of art making to curating, Ledbetter remarks that the two processes are commensurate, “When creating my own work I make deliberate marks, reacting to layers, and it would seem that reacting to a pile of paintings in an empty gallery and then arranging them is similar.” In her own work, Ledbetter works with watercolor and graphite on Yupo paper to expose the whimsical intersections of zen and chaos. Her work emphasizes process, with primary layers peeking through the final composition. Though her paintings are not specifically representational, they enthrall with familiar botanical forms and webs of intricate patterns.

K o’ox Boon (pronounced co-osch Bone)
means “let’s paint” in Yucatec maYan. our mission is to cultivate creativitY through the generation and celeBration of puBlic art. the 100% volunteer-Based team Brings the transformative power of art to underserved communities in Yucatan, mexico and Jackson, mississippi.
through collaBoration with local communitY agencies, ko’ox Boon strives to provide support to local artists and harness the JoYful, creative spirit of Youth. collaBoration is, in fact, at the heart of our organization which thrives off of communitY engagement. we develop creative proJects which promote communitY fellowship, cultivate economic development, and explore indigenous culture and folklore.
the phYsical restoration of a communitY acts as a vehicle for promoting our values of progress and equalitY across all of societY. the creative process of puBlic storYtelling through murals and park revitalization allows communitY memBers to make important decisions regarding identitY and representation from an empowered vantage point. georgia o’keefe once said, “I FOUND I COULD SAY THINGS WITH COLOUR AND SHAPES THAT I COULDN’T SAY ANY OTHER WAY--THINGS I HAD NO WORDS FOR.” ko’ox Boon uses art to give disadvantaged communities the tools with which to express their creative identities. communities that lack the power to express their identitY to the outside world can communicate through the universal language of art.

MISSISSIPPI embroidered cotton pillow, 16x20”
Doña Ofelia Uc Cahuichyaxhachen, yucatan, mexico
Doña Ofelia and the community of embroiderers in Yaxhachen reach global markets with a series of embroidered products that feature state symbols, college logos, and modern designs. Floral embroidery is a pre-Hispanic tradition of Yucatan originating from the hands of Maya women who adorned their dresses with these colorful patterns. This piece includes an outline of the state of Mississippi filled with bright, floral embroidery. With the help of Millsaps College’s charitable presence in Yucatan, all proceeds from
this piece will directly benefit the community of embroiderers of Yaxhachen.
