Southern Creatives: Melanie Eberhardt, Painter
Wednesday, March 18, 2009 at 12:00AM This is the first episode of "Southern Creatives", my new digital documentary series exploring the lives of right-brain thinkers and creators found deep in the South. Hear their stories. See their spaces. Get inside their minds. (And then tell me what you think.)

Melanie Eberhardt is an artist living on an ample plot of land in Canton, Georgia with her dog Lucky, twelve cats, four horses, Pony Joe, a pot-belly pig, and a cockatiel. Likened to a Matisse paper cutout style, she crafts clever, story-based compositions in a bold palette of gouache paint. She is represented by Georgia galleries including AB Gallery in Marietta owned by well-known folk artist, AB the Flagman, The Seen Gallery in Decatur and The Raiford Gallery in Roswell.
