Blanche Nettles Powers, born in Rochester, Minnesota, is a Savannah-based artist whose paintings, assemblages, and mixed-media works explore materiality and process through improvisation and repetition. Her practice is informed by fractal patterns found in natural environments, and her approach to media is influenced by the Dansaekhwa art 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 featured in juried exhibitions including ArtFields (South Carolina) and the Tallahassee International at the FSU Museum of Fine Art.
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 commissioned projects for Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Verge Yacht Design, and SCAD. Her work is held in numerous private collections. She received her MFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
