Greenblatt exhibit features zoo animals, mixed media
The Greenblatt Library is featuring the works of local artists Lisa Baggs and Sharon Fausnight through July 31.
Ms. Baggs, a graduate of the University of Georgia who has taught art to Augusta-area children for eight years, specializes in mixed media. Her display, on the first floor of the library, combines fabric, handmade jewelry and oil paint. Two works, Robot with Lemons and Three Pears and Pink Wall, feature X-rays within oil paintings.
Ms. Fausnight, who earned a bachelor of fine arts degree from Augusta State University, is a member of the Artists Guild of Columbia County. Her display, The Zoo Series, is on the second floor of the library and was inspired by visits to zoos in San Diego and Columbia, S.C. The paintings, emphasizing patterns, shapes and textures, aim to recapture her initial eye contact with the animals.
The exhibition, sponsored by the MCG Arts Council and the Greenblatt Library, is open to the public during the library’s business hours, Monday-Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to midnight; Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, noon to midnight.
