Southern Traditions
March 26–May 30, 2010 Sara May Love Gallery
Southern Traditions features three accomplished artists: William H. McKeown, Clay Lovel, and Eric Bart. 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 religious icons.

Water in our World: Photography by Larry Fuchs
March 26–May 30, 2010 Zoe Golloway Exhibit Hall

Transparent Spectrum
June 11–August 15, 2010 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.
