THE PARTICIPATING ARTISTS
........................................................................................
Harold Daniels
Harold Daniels is an Atlanta based photographer
who relishes the challenge to blur the distinctions of commercial and
fine art photography. True to his southern roots, Harold considers himself
a story teller of sorts and finds beauty in often unexpected ways, embracing
a subject and visually make the most of each story to be told. Best
known for his editorial portrait and fashion work, he also has a uniquely
creative eye for landscapes and still life’s - some of which appear
in this exhibition. www.harolddaniels.com
Robert DeLoach
Robert DeLoach grew up in a suburb of Atlanta,
GA and while athletics where the mainstay of his childhood, his love
of Art (painting) was always on the back-burner. A serious change of
events occurred late in his young adulthood causing him to embrace and
heal through his art work. This has allowed him to participate in several
shows within galleries and for charitable organizations within the Southeast
US. Robert loves to work in collaboration with other artists and has
recently produced work with an Atlanta-based Photographer, Nina Lakatos.
Jeff Doud
Jeff Doud has been painting for 14 years and is
currently seeking his MFA at the Vermont College of Union University.
An actively working Creative Director for television design and production
of graphics and visual effects. A three time EMMY award winner for network
brand campaigns, show openings and commercials, Jeff has relied on the
understanding of human psychology as it relates to consumer brand building
and is utilizing this power to respond aggressively to the world around
us through his art. The professional disciplines of problem-solving
and hard deadlines are being transferred to a vital existence of observation
and response driven by personal artistic objectives. The constant stream
of ideas born from active participation in the culture provides a rich
ambience from which individual new-found substance and connectivity
are realized in the studio. The work displays a playful symbolism, primitive
vigor and a deep-rooted West Coast youthful exuberance for life.

to creative endeavors, Emmy received a Bachelors of Fine Arts and Journalism
from University of Georgia. While pursuing a handful of careers including

Tom Key
Tom Key grew up in an artistic household; his
father is a painter and his sister an illustrator. Like his father,
Tom is a self-taught artist, learning composition and style from his
surroundings. Tom uses only traditional cameras, including a 30-year
old Hasselblad, a 1950’s Nikon Rangefinder and a 15-year old Nikon
he borrowed from his wife.
Tom is an avid traveler, leaving for business and pleasure whenever
he can. Over the past few years he has taken numerous trips to Asia,
Europe and South America. Lately however, Tom has been staying close
to home, due to the arrival of his twin daughters. As you will see,
the majority of Tom’s recent work has been focusing on Atlanta.
However, Tom has been able to finish his “ALPHABET & NUMBERS
of NYC” series - a collection of impulsive photographs of letters
and numbers on the island of Manhattan. Tom feels that photography is
a medium for recording and interpreting meaningful scenes and natural
spaces, particularly those that people will probably never see again.
He prefers black and white photography to emphasize composition and
mood, allowing the viewer to add his or her own “color.”
He utilizes simple equipment and simple developing, but work for unique
results.

Mark Leibert
Mark Leibert was born and raised in Honolulu,
He makes paintings and works on paper. Leibert’s images of seeds
and plant forms are given a twist in this body of work. Silhouettes
of plants from the artist’s garden and environment are photographed
and cut out digitally and then transferred in pigment to canvas or paper.
In March he premiered his staging of the short opera, From Frankenstein
at Eyedrum and recently at the ACS New Music Festival in Georgetown,
Texas.

Jeromie Neidlinger
Jeromie Neidlinger was born in Savannah and raised
in the southern part of Alabama before relocating to Atlanta in 1993.
After breaking away as creative director of an interactive firm, he
started his own web design company Primary
Theory which allowed more time for his dual passions. His paintings
have been exhibited in galleries and alternative spaces throughout the
Southeast United States. Showing Internationally last spring with the
TransAtlantic Exhibition held in Berlin, Germany.
"Thoughtlessly lost in the act, I may not understand a specific
purpose, but the outcome associates itself with a certain mood or emotion.
In this association I find personal reflection. A certain level of individualism
in a group association. Bringing with it a glimpse of understanding
how my own life contributes to a larger picture. Not very different
to how atoms, pine needles, streets, flower stems and people all relate
to one another. This relationship forms a moment in time we may not
be able to comprehend, but through the process of growth, it enables
us to interpret a past with hopes of shaping our future while living
in the present."

Whitney Wolf
Whitney Wolf was born and raised in Atlanta and
has since continued to
work both in Atlanta and afar. His studies in painting have taken him
to the prestigious Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the University
of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. It is only in giving up himself completely
to the work in which he finds himself; his style. His works are not
statements, nor explanations, but rather deeply spiritual interpretations,
yet gravely human. His studies have advanced him into the academic art
of the modern era. The work is beautifully cunning, artistically refined,
brutally charged, honest, and funny enough, something we can all relate
to. www.whitneywolf.net
