Hanna Jubran — Sculpture — Hanna received his

Master in Fine Arts in sculpture from the University of

Wisconsin-Milwaukee and is currently a Sculpture

Professor and Sculpture Area Coordinator at East

Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. He

has participated in international arts shows,

competitions and symposiums including those in

Finland. A recent commission Hanna just completed

can be found on the grounds of Fayetteville

University, Fayetteville, North Carolina. It is a

nine-segmented concrete sculpture and reaches 11’

in height. Hanna is consistent, in his pursuit of

creating enjoyable sculptures for private and

corporate collections. Hanna’s work addresses the

concepts of time, movement, balance and space.

Each sculpture occupies and creates its own reality

influenced by its immediate surroundings. The work

does not rely on one media to evoke the intended

response, but takes advantage of compatible

materials such as, wood, granite, steel, iron and

bronze. See one of his pieces, “Muse”, in the mini

park by the Arts Center. View more of his work at

THE KENNETH & KRISTI BLIZZARD GALLERY — Dodi & John Groesser — Greenville residents, Dodi and John,

began their life together when they met at Dana College in Blair, Nebraska. John, who majored in accounting, and Dodi,

who majored in art education and music, made their home with their sons in Weeping Water, NE, a small town south of

Omaha, before relocating to North Carolina. Dodi first began painting with oil in the tiny kitchen of her paternal

grandmother. She taught art for two years after her marriage to John and taught piano for 32 years. Although she has

worked with a variety of media, she still finds painting with oil to be her medium. Her style is influenced by the

impressionists and finds something to glean from all the professional artists with whom she paints. John’s painting interest

began when he started accompanying Dodi to workshops, and in no time his interest and talents grew rapidly. John paints

in acrylics and loves plein air painting, although he also enjoys painting in the couple’s new studio. He is especially

inspired by the impressionist-style of painting, and enjoys working with big canvases, brushes and palette knives.

John and Dodi have been recognized in several juried exhibitions with placements and honorable mentions and have had

several solo shows locally. These two self-described “happy artists” enjoy painting together and encouraging each other.

Their studio “Painting Purple and Other Colors” is located in Grimesland near their sons and their families.
