Horizon Lines: Oil Paintings by Shehla Milliron, Pam Talley and Mary Urquhart

an exhibition at the City Hall Gallery from January 12 – March 7, 2011
as part of the Arts in Public Places program

Capturing images on canvas is Shehla Milliron’s way of going back in time and revisiting the places she has encountered. As an an oil painter focused primarily on landscapes and animals, Milliron spends the year living between Tallahassee and Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Her work depicts subjects from these two diverse regions. She paints on location whenever possible and also uses photography as an aid in the creation of her works, especially the wildlife.

Pam Talley is always evolving as an artist and she strives to show the beauty that great light can bring to everyday subjects. She works in oils and uses impressonistic brush and knife work to make her subjects come to life. Pam pursued painting throughout early school years and is a trained graphic artist. Pam teaches art classes at Brush and Palette Studio and is continually developing new ideas for paintings.

Born and raised in the Midwest, Mary Urquhart now sees wild beauty in the landscapes of the Southeast. Her paintings allow her the opportunity to discover, take chances and be taken by surprise. Whether it is a marsh, lake, river or the Gulf of Mexico, she finds allure in watery reflections. Urquhart's romantic realism invites you to drift into the glass-like reflections of water.

The City Hall Gallery is located at 300 South Adams Street, second floor lobby of Tallahassee’s City Hall. This gallery is free to the public and open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Parking is available in Kleman Plaza.

The exhibition is curated by the Council on Culture & Arts’ Arts in Public Places program on behalf of the City of Tallahassee. For more information about this program, visit our web site.
