New Gallery affiliation

I have recently signed with Hollis Gallery in Chattanooga. Presently, they handle six or so artists. Two of us are "locals" and the rest are out-of-town. Keith Abney (part-owner) lives in Atlanta and does very contemporary work. Phyllis knows the girl from LaGrange, Signe ?, who paints from old photographs. Very interesting! There are a couple of other artists who have the same rep or agent as Keith. My work will be the most representational so I hope that it will be a welcome change and not a "sore thumb".
My work will be introduced next weekend at a city-wide Gallery hop. Every gallery is supposed to be open 2 - 9 on Sat for open house. Then I will have the featured wall for Oct. (Signe is Sept) I love painting large! Will post photos of the gallery, etc on my blog: www.artisttravels.blogspot.com this weekend.

New Studio

I have just leased a new studio space in the historic area of Ft. Oglethorpe, Georgia. I will be using the space to work and as my "headquarters" for developing classes and workshops. The space is right next to The Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Battlefield. I found out the space used to be the original post office!
Can't wait to work on new pieces for upcoming shows.
Will post photos soon.
