Don Green and Lea Lackey-Zachmann

January 31 - February 25, 2012
Reception: Sunday, February 12, 2 - 4 p.m.

Artworks Gallery presents a two-person exhibit by Don Green and Lea Lackey-Zachmann. Mr. Green is showing wood sculptures plus paintings on paper inspired by themes from Nature. Ms. Zachmann is showing large oil paintings and digital images based on microscopic images of plants.

Don Green is showing two large and one smaller wood sculptures, as well as landscape paintings on paper done with watercolors or oil washes. His general theme is his inspiration from Nature, and in particular being intriqued by twisted rope forms and Bernini's twisted sculpted columns in Italy. Mr. Green received a Certificate from the American Academy of Art in Chicago, a BFA  from Illinois Wesleyan University, and his MFA in sculpture from the University of Wisconsin. He taught art at Methodist University in NC, and has worked in commercial art and advertising for many years.

Lea Lackey-Zachmann is investigating the plant kingdom by going into the garden, choosing a plant and placing a small amount of plant material onto a slide for viewing in a microscope.  Large paintings are then inspired after searching the environment of the cellular structure shown in the photograph chosen. Ms. Zachmann received her BA from Winthrop University in NC and her MFA in painting from UNC-Greensboro, NC. She teaches Art at High Point University, and lives in Winston-Salem. She is a founding member of Artworks Gallery and currently the Exhibition chair.  

The exhibit is free and open to the public.
