Avery Gallery will showcase wildlife artist Alan R. Young for the Marietta August Artwalk. We will have a selection of his work of Birds of Georgia, including Owls and other Birds of Prey. Beginning with his first showing in 1998, Alan has shown Georgia and the world how being partially colorblind does not prevent seeing the beauty of nature.
Recent exhibitions include "Birds of Georgia" at the Fernbank Science Center and a solo exhibition at Callaway Gardens. He has displayed for Georgia, New York, and Ohio Audubon societies. Alan is now considered one of the top wild bird artists in the southeast, often featured in national and regional publications.
He created the North Georgia Wildlife Arts Festival, and has judged various other art festivals and events, including the Junior Duck Stamp competition. Art is only part of the motivation for Alan. Appreciation of and concern for the environment are equally important to him.
"To play a small part in our crusade to save our planet is reason enough to continue painting."
We look forward to seeing you at this wonderful wildlife exhibit from 5 to 9 pm, Friday, August 3 at Avery Gallery, 390 Roswell St., Marietta. Light hors d'oeuvres and refreshments will be available. Parking is free.
