Continuing our October "celebration of creativity", Maddi's has invited Georgia painter, Sandy Erickson Wright for a weekend show at both our galleries. We met Sandy several years ago at an Atlanta folk festival and fell in love with her work. After she stopped by to see our gallery, we went out for dinner and had a delightful evening with her and her husband Pat.We convinced Sandy to participate in our annual Folk Art Festival at Birkdale Village, where she is clearly a star artist. Each year she sells more and has very little to pack up at the end. Her paintings are in turn beautiful, thoughtful, funny, and real. Since she has been an avid antique collector and seller, much of work is on old tin, windows, doors, and assorted vintage pieces.
Two years ago she created our celebrated "Twelve Days of Christmas", a modern interpretation done in twelve 12" x 12" canvases which we displayed in our galleries and used as a theme for our Holiday catalog. We envy the customer who bought the entire set!
Sandy's work will be at both Maddi's Friday and Saturday. She will be at the Birkdale Gallery Friday evening from 5 to 8 and at the Dilworth gallery on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Come by to meet Sandy and enjoy this special show!
