Peachtree City Library Art Initiative Announces ‘Tres Jolie’ Exhibit Featuring Works by Trish Land and Honey Corbin

The Peachtree City Library Art Initiative March-April featured exhibit “Tres Jolie” will transport visitors through France with the fine art of Trish Land and Honey Corbin.  The artists are collaborating bringing their inspired art from their travels and love of France.

Trish Land fine artist uses her intuition, floral design background, love of dance, nature, and experience as a resident artist in France and Italy to inspire her. “There’s nothing more amazing and magical to me than nature. Light…air…colors…textures…sounds. All one really needs for inspiration. I listen. I watch. I absorb. Then I report back what I experience… I don’t necessarily paint what I see…I paint how I feel about what I see. I paint with my spirit. I allow my intuition to guide me. And I’m always amazed at what happens.” Land works with canvas, paper, and wood in acrylic, and oil. She may incorporate dirt, sand, mashed up leaves or berries leaving beautiful marks of nature in its quality of light, and terrain.

Land is a member of the Fayette Art Society and has many commissioned works in private collections.

Eleanor “Honey” Corbin fine artist is a retired nurse having spent years in the nursing field and in healthcare and pharmaceutical marketing is finally able to focus on her art. Corbin returned to college as an adult to study art graduating Summa Cum Laude, was listed in Who’s Who in American Junior Colleges and received the 2013 distinguished alumni award from Mount Aloysius Junior College (now Mount Aloysius College).

Corbin is influenced by everything we live with and see– from a dilapidated barn, the fabric and the design of furniture to the exquisite beauty of nature.  She enjoys traveling the back roads of America—most notably the Southwest, West, Georgia and the Northeast—to find those images and icons that are slowly being lost to our landscape and history. Translating these images to the visual is an emotional process for the artist– the image must speak to her in some personal level. As an artist Corbin would hope to lead the viewer to experience that emotion too.

Locally, her work was selected for the 2010 Southern Living Idea House, Senoia, The Booth Western Art Museum Annual Juried Shows, The Downtown Gallery, Cartersville, Beyond the Door and Chantilly, Senoia, Arts Clayton Gallery, Jonesboro, The Saint Andrew’s Fine Art & Craft Christmas Fair, Peachtree City, and Dogwood Gallery, Tyrone. Her Western Themed art has been juried into shows at the Tubac Cultural Art Center & Museum, Tubac, AZ, and juried shows in Colorado. Corbin belongs to several professional art organizations and is the curator for the Peachtree City Art Initiative. Her art is found in collections in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Colorado, California, Georgia, Michigan and Florida. Corbin is the Peachtree City Library Art Initiative Curator.

The art reception is Saturday, March 16, 3-4:30, at the Peachtree City Library.  The public is welcomed. Visit us on Facebook.
