Transparent Spectrum
Sara May Love Gallery
 Don Taylor and Cheryl Sattler are artists whose work features light and movement in two very different mediums. Don Taylor’s work most often represents local Florida scenes as well as his travels throughout the world. Taylor combines realism and impressionism in his watercolor paintings and “attempts to apply the illusion of detail in many works so that viewers can use their imagination to complete the image”. Cheryl Sattler has been working with glass since 1999, and her work has two distinct themes: freedom and family ties, and the tension between these two ideas.

Southern Traditions
Sara May Love Gallery
An exhibition of three local artists: William H. McKeown, Clay Lovel & Dr. Eric Baret. A fifth-generation Quincy native, William H. McKeown explores local and coastal imagery in his shimmering and luminescent watercolors. Clay Lovel explores the connection between nature and humanity within the North Florida coastal environment through the medium of pen and ink. French sculptor Eric Baret considers researching the subjects of his bronze sculptures an artistic challenge; Baret’s work often represents soldiers of war or Catholic saints, touching on themes of heroism, spirituality, sacrifice, and mysticism. Below: William H. McKeown, All Tied Down, watercolor.
 Water in our World: Photography by Larry Fuchs
Zoe Golloway Exhibit Hall
Larry Fuchs presents a widely varied selection of his award winning traditional film photographs. Each picture contains water as some element of the image; as a dramatic part of the scene or so incidental that the viewer has to concentrate to see it. Right: Larry Fuchs, Winter Cypress, traditional film photograph.

The Hill Collection
Sara May Love Gallery & Zoe Golloway Exhibit Hall
This exciting exhibition presents Vernacular artwork from the American South from the Collection of Lou and Calynne Hill. The exhibition features works by 14 artists including Thornton Dial Sr., Thornton Dial Jr., O.L. Samuels, Mary Proctor, Purvis Young, Jimmy Lee Sudduth, Joe Light, Mary T. Smith, Mose Tolliver, Ruby C. Williams, Edward Mumma, Johnnie Griner, Lonnie Holley, and Alyne Harris. The exhibition is centered around the work of Thornton Dial Sr., an artist featured in the 2007 PBS documentary entitled “Mr. Dial Has Something to Say”. His work has been exhibited at the American Folk Art Museum (NY, NY) and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (Houston, TX). Right: Thornton Dial, Sr. Following Up the Dream, 1992, mixed media, 60x48 inches.
Vernacular art is a unique and powerful expression of culture and community, created by self-taught artists. Vernacular artists seem to be driven to create. Their idiosyncratic work is often created using recycled materials, of a style purely their own, and often makes use of symbolism from their immediate regional American cultures and more distant African cultural roots nationwide. Museums, galleries, and instructional institutions are increasingly recognizing the talent of vernacular artists and their value within the fabric of art history.
This exhibition will be accompanied by an exhibition catalogue, opening reception and gallery talk, preview party for sponsors and annual fund donors, guided group tours, Art as Recycling student juried exhibition, art collecting seminar, and family art workshop. Exhibition catalogues containing artist information, color images, educational activities and additional resources will be on sale for $5 at the Gadsden Arts Center.
