The Snellville Arts Commission features original works of art by local artists at City Hall on a bi-monthly basis throughout the year.
Artist Ingrid Bolton will be the next local artist to display her work 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 3 through Nov. 4 in the Community Room at Snellville City Hall, 2342 Oak Road. A reception for the artist will take place 1:30 to 4 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 3.
"My works are my artistic interpretation of a visual and emotional memory," she said. "They are representative of the very moment of inspiration and encompass many subject matters may these be landscapes, flowers, animals or architecture as they resonate in me. I strive to convey my memories with bold and rich colors. To me, colors express vitality, vibrancy and life."
Bolton said she paints mostly with oil paints because she said they allow her to express harmony through their rich and deep satin-like properties.
In 2002, Bolton earned a Bachelor's Degree, Fine Arts Major, from North Georgia College and State University. She has studied with many nationally known top master painters in the U.S. and abroad and is a member of the North Gwinnett Arts Association, the Dunwoody Fine Art Association, the Kudzu Art Zone and the Georgia Heritage Center for the Arts.
Born in Germany, Bolton came to the U.S. 49 years ago. She and her family have lived in the Atlanta area for 25 years.
The purpose of Snellville's Art on the Wall at City Hall is to make city hall a destination to promote the talents of local artists.
Artists and groups interested in having a solo show of their own at city hall are encouraged to contact Gallery Director at nedrabailey@bellsouth.net.
