John Owen Featured Artist At Cahoots

The members of Artists in Cahoots will feature wood carver John Owen June 2 from 5 to 7 p.m. for the First Friday event.

Owen, a bird decoy artist, works from his home studio. A native of England, Owen retired from a 33-year career in the British Army in 1991 and moved, with his Lexington-born wife, to Rockbridge County. A former member of Artists in Cahoots, Owen’s hand-carved and handpainted wooden decoys can still be found for sale at the gallery.

Each month during First Friday, Artists in Cahoots will be featuring past members, and gallery history, and celebrate how local art is an important part of the fabric of the Lexington downtown community.
