Shelley Wieting

A lifetime of dedication:   Meet Shelley Wieting!

It takes a remarkable attention to detail to guide an art community—and a lot of heart.  Luckily, our Co-Op President Shelley Wieting has plenty of both!  Before guiding the Cumberland Gap Artists, Shelley spent over four decades as a nurse and nursing instructor.  That patient, careful precision is stitched directly into her gorgeous textile work.  From stunning quilts and woven baskets to beautiful holiday ornaments, her display is an absolute must-visit at our annual Spring Art & Wine Festival and Autumn Harvest Moon Festival.

When she isn't managing behind-the-scenes event logistics, you will find her right out on the gallery floor greeting travelers and neighbors alike with a welcoming smile.

Mark your calendars for the last Saturday of April & May, and come experience the cozy, handcrafted comfort built into every piece of Shelley's work!
