HEARTWORKS: Art from the Soul

Three Atlanta artists and one from Pinehurst, NC with a
strong Atlanta following, will present their first fine art show together,
Thursday-Saturday, Nov. 21-23.  HEARTWORKS: 
Art From the Soul
will showcase the combined works of Wanda Hopkins,
Jessie Mackay, Cynthia Perryman and Jane Scott at the Sovereign Building
in Buckhead, 3344 Peachtree Road,
Suite 1050. 
A portion of the show’s proceeds will benefit the Youth Education
Programs of the High Museum of Art.



Oil painters Jessie Mackay and Cynthia Perryman will
showcase landscapes and still lifes, while Wanda Hopkins will offer a selection
of her color photography, and Jane Scott will present oil portraits and pencil
and charcoal sketches.  The four artists
will attend the show to answer questions and discuss their works.  In addition to the exhibited pieces, each artist
also takes commissions.  HEARTWORKS
is sponsored by Aubrey Daniels International and Marie
Mealor & Associates, and will open with a reception Thursday, Nov.
21, from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.  It will
continue Friday-Saturday, Nov. 22-23 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. each day.



“While we have long admired and supported each other, this
is the first time we have organized a show as a group,” said Perryman.  “Art lovers will be able to choose from a
variety of mediums and sizes, and while our styles are very different, they are
also complimentary.  We are especially
excited about making a donation to the Youth Education Programs of the High
Museum of Art, since we all passionately believe in arts education.”
