Joya Barnett, Photography
Joya Barnett joined Community Artists Gallery & Studios in 2017. Joya finds inspiration in her Christian faith, in nature, and in music, which was her field of study. She loves fusing scripture & original poetry with the photos & will some times hunt for just the right picture to fit a certain lyric. "I always wanted to paint but wasn't very good at it," Joya admits. "Turns out, it wasn't a brush, but a camera, that could capture what the eyes of my heart were seeing." She is a graduate of Craven Community College.

Belinda Scheber, Painting
Belinda Scheber paints in acrylic and watercolor. One of her paintings was selected as the official art work for New Bern’s 2017 Mum Fest. She studied geology and geography at George Mason University and the University of New Mexico, which led to a career as a civil servant and cartographer with the U.S. Army. Since retiring to New Bern from Washington, D.C., Belinda has been inspired by the beauty of coastal North Carolina, and her favorite subjects are nature, wildlife and still life. “I love to express God's beauty in painting,” she says. Belinda has taken many art classes and is a member of the Coastal Carolinas Plein Air Painters, and Twin Rivers Artists Association. Her work is visible on the online gallery Daily Paintworks.
