Many of you will recognize Galina Herndon from her participation in the Fourth Street Fair, or from several showings of her paintings at The Venue over the last ten years. For those who have not met her, here’s a little background:

Galina was born and trained in Russia, married an American, and now lives in Roswell, Georgia, outside Atlanta. Through her art, she helps support her two daughters and her entire family. Her financial life as an artist is not easy, but she is resilient, optimistic, and tough. These qualities show through in her art.

Special circumstances afford special opportunities. A few weeks ago, in one of those freak cold weather events that snarl traffic in Atlanta, Galina had an auto accident. Although not physically injured, her car was totaled, and because of her language challenges and some unscrupulous insurance adjusters, she did not recover enough funds to replace her car. Her car is critical to creating her art and attending art fairs during the upcoming outdoor season.

We at The Venue are assisting her efforts to replace her car by offering a 25% off discount on all of her work presently in our collection. The Venue will host a reception for this sale on Friday, January 26, beginning at 6 p.m. Options for free parking in our area are available at the following locations:
