Iconic Cover Re-creation
artwork by Sarah K. Parcell
Our 50th anniversary celebrations continue with artist spotlights as they recreate iconic past covers.
This issue showcases the incredibly talented Sarah K. Parcell.
Which iconic Roanoker cover did you choose and why?
I chose the Spring, 1979 cover of The Roanoker because
I enjoy painting animals, and I loved the energy on the
original image that the 1979 cover displayed. I pull a lot
of inspiration from that era as well and wanted to combine
that with the modern elements I used in my rendition.
Describe the process of recreating this cover and how
you chose to interpret it.
I knew I wanted to stay true to the eccentricity of the
original cover so I chose to go with an editorial style.
I then developed my design and went to painting,
allowing myself the freedom to choose my colors and
make changes as the painting progressed. I enjoy painting
most when I don't stress too much about the end result
and focus on the process.
Sarah Kirk Parcell is a figurative painter based out of
Roanoke, Virginia. Parcell works primarily with oils
on medium to large-scale canvases, and uses broad and
spontaneous brush strokes to go beyond the objective
representation of her subjects.
Parcell's paintings are based on emotionally inspiring
situations of connection: nostalgia, vulnerability, joy
and suffering. Combined with subtle details of odd or
eccentric elements, the resulting works are whimsical,
sensational and open to interpretation.

More of her work can be found on her website and
social media sites. She also has work available for sale

Parcell, along with ceramicist Celeste Hodges, will open
