The Well of Roswell presents
Pieces of Me, the wellness
center’s fifth solo exhibition of
works by mixed-media artist
Madelyn Spiegelman, on view
from June 14 through September 13. The show highlights
Spiegelman’s diverse artistic
range, featuring a variety of
styles and mediums, including geli monoprints, acrylics,
pastels and multimedia works.
A public reception will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. August 10.
“So many of our artists work in large format,” says Becky Arrington, co-owner of the Well of Roswell, a holistic healing and
events center. “But I was intrigued with Madelyn’s ability to create
large montages or collages out of small prints or paintings. They
are intricate and evocative and create interesting visual textures.”
Prices for individual works vary.
For more information, call 770-778-2051 or visit TheWellOfRoswell.com. The Well of Roswell is located at 900 Old Roswell Lakes Parkway, Suite 300, in Roswell.
Heart Soul & Art, an eclectic
metaphysical store in Marietta,
announces a solo exhibition
of works by artist Samantha
Ramirez Etheridge from August 23 through September 18.
The show opens with a public
reception in the gallery from
4:30 to 6 p.m. on August 23.
Combining acrylic and mixed media on canvas, Etheridge has
received First Place honors in two previous shows at Heart Soul
& Art. “Samantha’s main objective is to motivate and inspire
those who are in need of encouragement,” says Sharron Ragan,
the store’s owner. “Her whimsical and spiritual art comes from
deep within her soul. It’s the kind of art that you can get lost in the
hundreds of details within the theme.”
For more information, call 770-241-6200 or visit HeartSoulAndArt.com. Heart Soul & Art is located at 1474 Roswell Road in Marietta.
Phoenix & Dragon Bookstore extends
its annual May Day Show through
July 27, offering works by emerging
artists from Kennesaw State University. Curated by Rachel Mara in collaboration with Robert Sherer of Art
Career Mentoring Services, the show
features 22 student artists working in
a range of fine art mediums.
Painter Qixuan Hou stands out in this
year’s group with imaginative works
that explore themes of childbirth and
motherhood. Using oil paint on canvas, Hou represents the body
with symbolic objects like fruit, lace and staples. “The fruit is luscious, but the magic is in the composition,” says Mara. “They spoke
to my inner mother goddess and evoked this very visceral reaction.” The popularity of Hou’s work prompted the decision to keep
the gallery open to the public for an additional four weeks.
For more information, call 404-255-5207 or visit PhoenixAndDragon.com. Phoenix & Dragon Bookstore is located at 5531 Roswell Rd.
in Atlanta. Admission is free.
