 Kenneth Procter Cedar and Pine Powdered charcoal drawing 20" x 16"
Kenneth Procter`s powdered charcoal drawings may seem effortless, as they beautifully capture the elements of shadow and light inherent in his wooded settings. However, the intricacy of his mysterious landscapes causes the viewer to reflect on his complex method.

 Laura W. Adams Return of the Waxwings Collage on canvas 60" x 48"
Catherine Kelleghan Gallery is featuring Laura W. Adams of Savannah with her first solo exhibit in Atlanta called "Down a Paper Trail." Since leaving her law career behind some 13 years ago, Adams has followed her muse to their cabin in the mountains where she winds down her busy life to the rhythms of the land. Her elaborate collages are drawn from that place and are immediately recognizable and mesmerizing. Each piece has ten or more layers of textured and patterned papers and thousands of hand-torn and cut out pieces of exotic papers. The result is a "painting" with a distinct, three-dimensional effect using only paper! The artist will be in attendance from 7-9 p.m. and will give several short presentations about her work using a video created by HGTV.

 Reggie Laurent House Full of Love Acrylic on canvas 48" x 48"
Join us Thursday, April 1 from 7 - 10 pm as we welcome Atlanta`s own Reggie Laurent to our Buckhead Gallery Walk.
"The beauty of art, and abstract in particular, is the inability to `recreate` a true original ... there`s only one. The end result of any painting is wholly contingent on a mood and environment that can only exist one time. I intuitively know what to do, and what I can`t achieve by intuition, the language in the painting guides me, speaks to me and lets me what to do. I rely on my years of experience as well as a freethinking approach when painting. Although every work requires decisions by the hundreds, I really don`t think much at all when I hold the brush. I just let it happen." - Reggie Laurent

Atlanta`s leading new contemporary photography gallery. Showing up-and-coming photographers.
March 4 - April 24, 2009: "Woman`s Image" is a group photography exhibition that articulates the many interpretations of what it is to be a female. On the first floor, some well-known but rarely seen vintage prints by Sally Mann, Horst, Huene mix with works of mid-career Southern photographers, and a few up-and-coming new artists.
Morton Broffman, Neal Broffman, Mario DiGirolamo, Deanna Dikeman, Horst, Huene, Susan Laney, Sal Lopes, Sally Mann, Mary Anne Mitchell, Jaclyn Cori Norman
Our second floor gallery presents cutting edge challenges to the question "What defines a woman?" How do the labels "mother/professional," "white/Hispanic," "autonomous/codependent," impact a woman`s day-to-day life?

 Robert Meredith Whiteout 44" x 48"
Robert Meredith paints in an ultra realistic manner designed to fool the eye. What appears real is painted and what is real is part of the painting. Robert has mastered the art of painting to the degree that many people have to touch the canvases to be convinced that what they see is a painting. His exquisite work and playful subjects draw the eye and mind to an earlier time and memory. Come join us for this First Thursday evening and meet Robert and enjoy his latest works.
