“Peculiar Animals” Opening Reception


Hats off to local artist Lisa Freeman, who, in addition to having two exhibits adorning the walls of The Grit and Earth Fare this month, will share a collection of new paintings in “Peculiar Animals.” “The title ‘Peculiar Animals’ came about because of a previous show at ARTini’s, ‘Peculiar Children.’ It is more of a description of my painting style and the connection that we, as human animals, have to the other creatures we share this world with,” says Freeman. “The animals I choose to paint are mostly endangered or extinct. My intention was to capture the energy and vitality of the individual animals.” Curated by AthensHasArt!, the show also features collage cats on ceramics by JC Jones and drawings by Kay Stanton, and the reception will include a live performance by Ranch. “Peculiar Animals” will be on view through the end of September.
