Savannah 2020


Always so happy to spend time in Savannah. The Historic District and further neighborhoods offer a wonderful combo of urban elegance, historic architecture, funky art, the River walk and the unique opportunity to enjoy a green oasis in its numerous 'Squares', i.e., parks throughout the city, culminating in  Forsyth Park with its many Live Oaks and its lovely, famous fountain.  


The presence of SCAD - Savannah College of Art and Design adds a special air of creativity and interesting people to the town. And offers a major museum and various galleries. Savannah's Jepson Art Center and the Telfair Gallery are other rich sources of art. as well as the numerous private galleries all around town. My personal favorite gallery is Roots Up, home for so-called 'outsider art'.

Our daily meanderings offer rich architecture, storefronts and homes, and all the signage and oddities that always catches my eye. And like in Cedar Key, many of my collages from the past six years have become historical artifacts, capturing places that are radically changed or no longer there.

Wonderland!


This art moved me so much I just had to share it in a post.

Driven by deep loss and emotion, artist Kirsty Mitchell says, 'Photography became my voice when I couldn't speak about what I was going through.  She calls this the Wonderland series. The wealth of detail and creativity is indeed a 'wonder' .

These photographs are not collages, but rather, photographs of created scenes; every element conceived, designed and made by Kirsty.
