Here's a Carolina Arts Update! 7/22/05
erl originals gallery in Winston-Salem, NC, is now closed. The following is no reflection on the artist(s) mentioned in this article. They still deserve the historical fact that this exhibition happened.
Here is an excerpt from an article in the Winston-Salem Journal's Dec. 10, 2004, edition: "In late September, (2004) erl's owners, Peter and Lee Swenson, and the company they operate, Bogart Management Group, were foreclosed on by their bank. They were barred from their gallery at 480 West End Blvd. for being months in arrears on rent and utilities. Peter Swenson is facing numerous tax-fraud charges, as well as a growing number of civil lawsuits filed by creditors seeking to collect payments they say are long overdue".

Barbara Fountain
Barbara Fountain's award-winning paintings from nature have been exhibited in many regional and international shows, and are in numerous collections of corporations and individuals both in this country and in Europe. A native of Dallas, TX, Fountain began her art education in Atlanta, GA, at the Art Institute, continuing her studies for several years with nationally known artists. She is an active member of the Atlanta Artists Center as well as a Member of Excellence of the Southeastern Pastel Society.
Fountain, who describes her painting style as traditional impressionist, explains, "My love of the American landscape has never diminished, and I continue to explore and expand upon this theme that has gained me a growing following. The relationship between earth and sky is compelling and this discovery has allowed me to appreciate variations in the landscape throughout the country. Once in a while, I may have a need to include or experiment with another subject, but the color and light of the landscape will always be at the heart of my work."
