Musical Theatre Revue, Spring 2014 8/21-9/18 Center and Still by Meg Franklin Alice Hirt and Jo Bearse Endowed Art Exhibition Meg Franklin is a Brooklyn, N.Y.-based artist who was born and raised in Young Harris. Her paintings focus on the raw physicality of objects and explore the haziness of identity in the face of the human need to establish it. Her still lifes are comprised of objects that fall just short of identifiable, creating a sense of recognition while remaining too elusive to name or assign with a function. Franklin earned her B.A. in English and creative writing from Washington and Lee University, her M.F.A. in creative writing from the University of Florida, and her M.F.A. in painting from the New York Academy of Art.

He collects bizarre objects and transforms them into strangely beautiful art for one of America’s favorite roadside attractions, his “Museum of Wonder” in Seale, Ala. His hand-built home was featured in the New York Times and is built from stones and the timber of an old cotton mill, elegantly decorated with Anthony’s own artwork. Anthony’s artistic spirit sees him apply his talents to a number of different modes and mediums, and he calls his specific genre of work “intertwangelism”—an -ism of his own creation.
