“THROUGH MY EYES” ART SHOW AT THE
GWINNETT HISTORIC COURTHOUSE
(Lawrenceville, GA, Jan. 30, 2009) Paintings by local artist, Denise Hall, are featured in the Winter Art Show at the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse through April 23. The oil and acrylic painting exhibit is entitled “Through My Eyes.”
“Art is a way to express the way I view the world around me. I paint subjects that are around me and move me to creative expression. Art has always been a part of my life regardless of whether a brush was in my hand or not“, said Hall.
Hall’s work has evolved throughout her life depicting subject matter from still life to portraiture. While her art expresses itself in realism and impressionism, it often takes on a whimsical quality of vibrant color, spontaneity and brush work, inviting the viewer to enter into the setting. Denise has and unbridled love of art and an eye for detail and can render the hair of a child or the suggestion of wind in the trees.
Denise has been interested in painting since early childhood and took every opportunity to participate in various art projects through high school, nursing school, and between children and a career. Since retirement in 1994, she has studied art at Kennesaw State University and under various art instructors, including Libby Dalan at KSU, Philomena O’Quinn Edwards, international artist, and portrait painters, Beverly Harding and Tommy Akins.
She is a member of the Atlanta Artists Center in Atlanta, and has exhibited paintings in juried Shows at the Grandview Gallery in Buckhead and the Cobb Museum of Art in Marietta.
The Gwinnett Historic Courthouse is located at 185 Crogan St., in downtown Lawrenceville. For more information, call 770-822-5450. Exhibit hours are Monday-Friday 10 a.m. - 4p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Admission is free. |

Named #1 park system in the nation by the 2008 National Recreation and Park Association |
Section of Rock Springs Park to Open Saturday (Lawrenceville, Ga., Sept. 2008) – Gwinnett County Parks & Recreation will open up a section of the new 114-acre Rock Springs Park in Lawrenceville this Saturday. Open will be the new football field with a lighted walking track, a concession building, press box, and two miles of paved multi-purpose trails.
Collins Hill Youth Athletic Association will play their football games at the park this Saturday as well and will run their football and cheerleading programs out of the park. The association sold honorarium/memorial bricks to fund the purchase of a P.A. system for the football program.
The remainder of the park will open by the end of the year and will feature six lighted tennis courts, a playground and a pavilion.
Construction of the park was funded through the 2005 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax.
“Rock Springs is considered a ‘sister’ park to nearby Collins Hill Park, “ said Sharon Plunkett, Division Director of Operations for Gwinnett County Parks & Recreation. “Both parks complement each other’s offerings and give us a way to serve the citizens and the strong youth athletic association at the park that has been in existence for many years.”
The park was designed by Lose & Associates. Inc. and the contractor for the project is ACE Grading Company, LLC.
Contact: Rock Springs Park is located at 550 Rock Springs Rd. in Lawrenceville. For more information, call 770-822-8840 or visit www.gwinnettparks.com.
