A Testimonial

In a story from the current issue of the Jackson Free Press, Lynette Hanson writes:

Holly Perkins has always liked art, but it was a family-weekend adventuring trip with her parents and older sister Katie that changed the almost-a-teen-ager forever. “Maybe two years ago, we went to Vicksburg, to The Attic Gallery. I loved that place,” Perkins told me emphatically, sitting on her daybed in her vivid, eclectically decorated room. “It was so cool. I had not been taught that art can be not perfect and still be good. It opened up a whole new door.”

Dale Rayburn and Mamie Joe: 50th Anniversary Gallery #1

  50th Anniversary Artist Gallery #1 Dale Rayburn & Mamie Joe   Autumn Memories - Dale Rayburn Monotype on paper 18" x 18" $750 Autumn Memories by Dale Rayburn "Throughout my career, I have had a propensity toward painting older people. They tend to show life experiences on their faces and they have great stories to tell, as well. As I have grown older myself, I have painted several self-portraits. This piece was inspired by the fact that I am so grateful for being able to do what I love. Making art as your vocation, in my opinion, has to be one of the most rewarding endeavors anyone could possibly wish for."     Show of Grace - Mamie Joe Acrylic on paper 15" x 15" $550  SHOW OF GRACE mixed media on paper by Mamie Joe "My 103 year old mother fell three times several months ago, and by some miracle, she did not break any bones.
