NEW AWARD  The Poiint of Art Gallery received the 2008 Greene County Small Business of the Year Award at the Chamber of Commerce award ceremony Thursday, April 23. We are honored and delighted and thank the chamber for this honor! NEW SHOW  Our new show, "on the Road" with guest artists Cameron Hampton and Del Sanders joining me is up and ready for you. Del Sanders, born in Nashville, Tn., studied art at the Memphis College of Art and Atlanta College of Art. He has won awards nationally and describes his style as “modern realism, but also very impressionistic at times.” With this series he tried to capture a moment in time and the feeling and pulse of everyday modern Atlanta., his adopted city. Sanders work exclusively in oils. Cameron Hampton is well-known in the region and is an award winning international artist. She is a Masters Circle Member of the International Association of Pastel Societies, but for this exhibit her work is in oil. Hampton artfully conveys the feeling of the wide open road or a single walk through an amusement park with a unique clarity of expression. She is part owner of The Hampton Fine Art Gallery in Greensboro. And me, Anne Jenkins, - I'm premiering my new series, “Le Courage de Femmes,” for the show. This series concentrates on the strength and resilience of women as they cope with movement and change in their lives - voluntary or not. Some conjure up the simple daily journey to the market and others life changing journeys, such as war and famine. Jenkins works in acrylics with a textured palette knife technique known as impasto. Each artist uses a different medium and their unique styles will add an excitement and interest to the show. . Don’t miss it! Call for info (706) 486-6808 AWARD from the Governor of Georgia!
