Terra Cotta and Plaster Sculpture by New York Artist:
 

"I am preoccupied with human loneliness, in suffering, doubts, and in the endless search of self.  I am preoccupied with a delusive nature of power and material possessions, and am driven by an urgent necessity to create a symbol.  At times, a humorous twist is inevitable."

 

Opening Reception
Saturday, September 13th
6PM - 9PM
Free and Open to the Public

  Mamaeva admires the beauty and grace of human nature, and beauty in _expression of the human body.  Mamaeva is guided by a symbol, an idea.  Often, this results in elongated stylized figures or semi-abstract representations.  Mamaeva is convinced that in order to have  "full life" sculptures have to be seen.

ELEMENTS

Landscapes and Other Paintings by Artist:
CAROL VOLZ BEGLEY
 

Opening Reception
Friday, October 3rd
6PM - 9PM
Free and Open to the Public

   Carol Volz Begley is an Impressionist Plain Air artist, whose passion for drawing and painting is vividly seen in her colorful canvas'.  Painting outside, with oils and pastels, enables her to capture the varied effects of colors in sunlight and shadows.  By using a full palette of rich colors, Begley captures the mood and subject of her paintings.  While, at the same time, inviting the viewers to look closer at the colors seen as compared to what is perceived.
    Painting on location and working in all kinds of weather creates peak experiences and gives a sensual depth to the paintings.  "Feeling the atmosphere and energy surrounding me are almost as important in the painting process as the actual subject itself," explains the artist.  Begley loves the magical illusion of sunlight and shadows under the changing weather conditions, and the juxtaposing of complimentary colors for greater brilliance in achieving the vibrant character of an Impressionistic landscape.

ORBIS MAXIMUS
Oil Paintings by Georgia Artist:
ANNE T. NIELSEN
Opening Reception
Saturday, October 25th
6PM - 9PM
Free and Open to the Public

   Nielsen believes art belongs to the world, but she also believes that art is also a very special personal affair.  The passion to create can not be explained.  For some, it is like a drive to survive.
    In creating, we are taking our innermost thoughts, interactions with the world, and giving it life, symbolism, form, color, and style.  We are taking an abstract idea, of feeling, and turning it into a tangible symbol, capturing a dream or emotion, and displaying it for all to see.  Art is a personal view that changes with mind, mood, climate, or consciousness.
    Nielsen's goal is to create a body of work that will formulate questions, move a spirit, create a comfortable calm, or even bring an edgy disquiet.
