Natural Beauty: Olivia's Georgia Flowers
Stone Mountain, Ga- Eric Legee, the celebrated, cerebral folk artist who lives and paints in Rabun Gap, Georgia, observed that “[t]he artist who paints flowers spreads beauty and happiness. Each brushstroke captures the delicate petals and vibrant hues of blossoms, bringing joy and inspiration to those who view the artwork.” Olivia Thomason, a renowned Georgia folk artist who paints from her studio in this historic village just east of Atlanta, has for many years been painting her interpretaions of roses, lilies, magnolias, zinnias and local wildflowers. Many of her florals adorn the walls of homes here and throughout the country. They confirm her ability to convey the essence of nature's beauty onto canvas.
