"Diane Kirkland: Photography of the Georgia Coast"

8 November 2008-20 February 2009

OPENING RECEPTION WITH THE ARTIST

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH

2:00-4:00 P.M.

The exhibit features photographs that Diane Kirkland has taken as Georgia DNR's Artist-In-Residence over the past year. The exhibit is free and open to the public on Saturdays from 9 until 4 through Georgia Arbor Day (February 20, 2009) at Melon Bluff's Nature Center, 2999 Islands Hwy., between Midway and Sunbury.

 An opening reception with the artist will be held Saturday, November 8, from 2-4 p.m. Refreshments will be served. For more information, please call (912) 880-4500 or visit www.melonbluff.com .

 Currently the Artist-In-Residence for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Ms. Kirkland has been working on a series of landscapes from Ossabaw Island Georgia.

 "These photographs are about the simple beauty found in the natural environment," Kirkland said. "Often, we seem to lose the connection with our natural surroundings and we seem very complacent to allow these sanctuaries to disappear. I would like for my pictures to show that these places are worthy of our attention."

 In her role as senior photographer with Georgia Department of Economic Development for twenty five years, Kirkland gained valuable experience in handling photography for advertising campaigns, publications and websites. Her work has appeared in national and international publications, including the New York Times, Time Magazine, USA Today, Southern Living, and the Times of London.

Recently, the international publication Lenswork Magazine recently featured 18 of Kirkland's black and white natural landscapes of Georgia. The Georgia Council for the Arts and the Fulton County Arts Council both selected her to join their 2008-2010 Touring Artist Rosters, and she was also invited to join the Southern Arts Federation, which is a multi-media artist registry that spotlights outstanding artists who live and work in the South.
