Blanche Nettles Powers is a Savannah-based artist whose paintings, assemblages, and mixed-media works explore materiality and process through improvisation and repetition. Her current practice is informed by fractal patterns in nature and the structural grid of woven textiles, with a media approach influenced by the Korean Dansaekhwa movement.
She has presented solo exhibitions at Laney Contemporary (Savannah), Kim Foster Gallery (New York), and the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Her work has been included in juried group exhibitions such as ArtFields (South Carolina), The Tallahassee International at the FSU Museum of Fine Art, and Here and There at SCAD’s Gutstein Gallery.
Nettles Powers has participated in artist residencies at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), Vermont Studio Center, and SCAD’s NYC Studio Workspace. She has received fellowships from the Jentel Foundation (Wyoming) and Anderson Ranch Arts Center (Colorado), and has completed commissions for Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Verge Yacht Design, and SCAD. Her work is held in numerous private collections. She earned her MFA in painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
