Ann Rhodes, Field of Poppies, 24 x 24 in., oil on canvas

"Celebratory landscapes are the focus of my work. Personal response to the intensity of nature's force informs my painting in which loose brushwork and overlapping layers of paint represent the complexity of the universe. I am fed by nature's light and color, comforted by its underlying geometry, awed by its muscularity." -Ann Rhodes

An artist reception will be held on Friday, June 19, 2009 from 6:00-8:00 pm with music by the Bill VanDyke Ensemble. The show will benefit The Marietta Educational Garden Center: 10% of the evening's sales will be donated to the Garden Center, and donations will be accepted during the evening for the Garden Center. The Marietta Educational Garden Center, a non-profit organization located at 505 Kennesaw Avenue, remains one of the largest privately owned and maintained green spaces in Cobb County, and is a rarity in the arena of non-profits devoted to protecting our environment and promoting "green." The event is free to the public.
