Gary Sherby
Inman Perk welcomes local singer/songwriter Gary Sherby to it’s Gainesville location on June 27th @ 7 PM. Gary will be performing his unique blend of rock and blues. Come by and show your support for our local artists!
Come by and view the wonderful paintings of talented in town artist Eric Marston at our Inman Park location for the month of June.
About his work, Eric says:
“My influences come from my backgrounds in both animation and architecture. When I walk the city I enjoy looking in the allies and little side streets so when I paint the city I look for views people don’t often stop to look at and take the form of the structures and break them down to their simplest elements. When I paint the figure I aim to take there candid pose and push it into what could be considered a “key frame” or “contact” pose. I use knives to paint and this allows for my forms to stay loose without the precision I gain with a brush. Along with oils in both series I use ink to create the backgrounds of my figure work.”

Tell Me A Story: Finding Your Way Through Abstract Art
“Artwork allowing for inner exploration and to encourage sharing with others to promote community.”
by Rachel Q. Landers
June 2009 @ Inman Perk Gainesville
More about Rachel:
Rachel Q. Landers earned a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art, with a concentration in Scientific Illustration from the University of Georgia in 2006. She currently lives in Gainesville, Georgia.
Rachel’s artwork, by moving away from realism, acknowledges that viewers bring a lexicon of experience and concurrent emotion to a painting. She would like her artwork to encourage discourse – facilitating storytelling and a sense of community. This holds a significant place in her art and philosophy.
Tying together aspects of life and nature with spirituality, Rachel creates mystery, in essence – pos sibilities. When creating her art, she feels it is challenging as well as freeing to accept change and adapt to what emerges. By layering perhaps unusual combinations of shapes and colors which contrast and resolve, her work represents life with its undulating tensions– and sometimes surprising beauty. She wishes to broaden her outlook visually as well as in day to day interactions. It is an optimistic process.
Roy Schneider
Roy Schneider plays the Gainesville Inman Perk – June 8th @ 7 PM!
From www.royschneider.com:
“Roy Schneider writes songs that come from the heart, engaging the most diverse of audiences with passion, soul, humor and grit.
From a teenage runaway to an under-age union worker, a traveling Deadhead, a toy designer… Through national comic strip syndication, marriage, divorce, spiritual searches and parenthood (single and non), this guy has stories to tell. And with 25 years’ dedication to fingerstyle and flatpicked guitar, harmonica and vocals, there’s no better way for him to tell them. His sound has been compared to the likes of Willis Alan Ramsey, John Prine, Levon Helm, Guy Clark, Arlo Guthrie, Keller Williams and John Gorka.”
