SUZANNE MORTIMER

In-Town Gallery / 6A Frazier Ave. August 9 - 31st

Suzanne Mortimer

In-Town Gallery is proud to feature guest artist Suzanne Mortimer. Her show, Home and Away, is a collection of paintings and drawings of her favorite city and country places. Suzanne spent the summer of 2013 in Prague studying with Dale Leys. There she honed the use of pen & ink and watercolor to create drawings of city life. She now uses this technique to depict various scenes in Chattanooga, as well as other places that she finds intriguing. “I have continued to make small drawings of various places in Chattanooga, because I like the intimacy of smaller works of art. There is also a joy in mark-making and rendering the details of each image.”

In addition to her work with pen & ink and watercolor, Home and Away also offers something a bit different. “For this show,” the artist says, “I have done acrylic paintings with simplified shapes and made two collage pieces based on Chattanooga scenes. These artworks, although different in feel, still cling to the notion of finding beauty and joy in the places we visit and live.”

A reception will be held Friday, August 9 from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m., and the exhibit will be on display August 1 – 31. Showcasing the creativity of local artists for 50 years, In-Town Gallery is located ‘Between the Bridges’ on Chattanooga’s North Shore at 26A Frazier Ave. Hours are Monday – Saturday from 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. and 12:00 – 5:00 p.m. on Sundays.
