The Madison Artists Guild is proud to welcome Atlanta artist Laura Davis Shainker for her exhibition titled "Walk with Me".
Walk with Me, one of the gallery’s ten special exhibitions this year, will remain through June 4. All works are for sale.
Walk with Me is a collection of forty-two original paintings inspired by locations near to Ms. Shainker’s heart, including Georgia, the South Carolina low country, and the French countryside.
Ms. Shainker works from photographs, field notes, and memory to create a sense of balance and serenity through simplified compositions and harmonious palettes. Marshes, mountains, farmlands, water, and florals are favorite subjects, as is architecture and its relationship to the environment.
It was during a dual career of business and raising children that Laura began pursuing her interest in art by studying the classical principles of drawing and painting with several artists. With forays into teaching as well as owning The Art School of Sandy Springs near Atlanta, Laura continued to paint on the side, turning to full-time painting in 2019. That same year, Laura was awarded a Denis Diderot Artist-In-Residence grant to participate in the residency program at Chateau Orqueyaux in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France. Laura credits the experience and French countryside as greatly influencing her work.
To experience and shop Walk with Me in person, please visit MAGallery Tues.-Sat. from 11 AM – 5 PM, or shop MAG Online .

One year ago, Art for Life was recognized by the Georgia General Assembly with Senate Resolution 185, which commended the program for many reasons including:
- As an art education and life skills development course unique to Morgan County Charter School System
- For its Reputation of Excellence in the community, as evidenced by it being entirely donor-funded
- For instilling among its students the importance of community by working collaboratively and giving back to and understanding one's place in the community
The success of Art for Life is due to the commitment of its excellent teachers, Elizabeth Collins Hanes, Angelina Bellebuono, and the late Chuck Hanes, whose vision for this program and love for the students is deep, genuine, and unwavering: "These are amazing, insightful and creative young people, with much to offer this world. We are so grateful to have the opportunity to work with each and every one of them." - Elizabeth Hanes and Angelina Bellebuono, 2022.
We look forward to celebrating with you.
