About Katherine Sandoz - FLORA
With the marshes, waterways and people of the low-country offering perennial inspiration, Katherine Sandoz examines the everyday and offers work that celebrates what is precious and unique. With this show, Sandoz returns to the subject of flowers, reexamining botanicals through abstraction firmly situating the work in the realm of minimalism. "These paintings are as much about studying and representing botanicals as they are about paint itself, weather patterns, and the natural landscape," reflects Sandoz. She lives in Savannah, and her paintings and fiber works have been exhibited internationally.

About Heather Lancaster - FAUNA
Heather Lancaster is an Atlanta native who hails from a family of artists. For this show, Lancaster continues to explore one of her most inspiring subjects, the ostrich. Experimenting with scale and a variety of materials, Lancaster deepens her connection to drawing, anatomy, and the stillness of portraiture.
