Gallery director Samantha Spalti said, “We’ve had a growing number of clients
asking for large pieces to help them set the mood for a room, so this show is in
direct response to that. A large painting is often a centerpiece – above a sofa,
over a dining room table, anchoring a gallery wall. Indeed, it sets the mood. And
with our 10,000 square foot space of fine regional art, Sunset River Gallery is in a
unique position to showcase that art. The selection in this show offers a range of
both media and style, all to help our clients ‘set the mood.’”

Puckett, Ruth Cox, Rich Flanagan, Nancy McClure, Bayou Gray, Mary Welch
Austin, Nancy Hughes Miller, Carol Iglesias; and acrylic artists, Ginny Lassiter,
Cristiana Rioli, Roberta Rotunda, and Sterling Edwards.

Spalti adds, “The artists in the show represent a wonderful mix of style and genre
– representational to abstract, traditional to contemporary. We think visitors will
love this exhibit.”
