What made her notice that shadow? Why that view? What was it like looking out over SoHo from her loft?

This Friday, you can ask Susan Martin Meggs herself.

Join us October 16 from 6 to 8 pm at the EMD Gallery during Farmville’s Art Walk for the artist reception for Interplays. Susan’s work brings light and shadow, architecture and nature into conversation. Come see what catches your attention, then hear from the person who made it.

You don’t need to be “into art” to enjoy yourself here. Bring your curiosity, someone you love, the whole family, or just yourself. We’ll have live music, refreshments, and plenty of opportunities to meet people and talk. It’s free and everyone is welcome.

Something on our walls could be just what’s missing from yours. All works are for sale, whether you’re looking for a piece for your home, your office, or a gift for someone special.

Make a little room in your Friday plans. We’ve got art to see, an artist to meet, and a good evening waiting for you.

Join Susan Martin Meggs at the EMD Gallery this Friday, October 16, from 6 to 8 pm during Farmville’s Art Walk. Her exhibition, Interplays, might have you looking twice at a shadow, remembering a place you’ve been, or picking out a piece for that empty wall at home.

No art knowledge required. If something catches your eye, that’s a great place to start.

Bring someone you love, gather the family, or come on your own. Enjoy live music and refreshments, talk with Susan about her work, and see where the conversation takes you. The reception is free and open to everyone.

All works are for sale. You could leave with a one-of-a-kind conversation starter you’ll get to enjoy every day.

You don’t have to know a thing about art to have a good time at the gallery.

Come find something you like. See what it reminds you of. Talk about it.

This Friday, October 16, from 6 to 8 pm, join us at the EMD Gallery for Susan Martin Meggs’ artist reception during Farmville’s Art Walk!

Bring a date, bring the whole family, or make it a solo adventure.

We’ll have live music, refreshments, and a chance to meet Susan and hear about her exhibition, Interplays. Stay for a conversation, meet someone new, or simply enjoy an evening out. It’s free and everyone is welcome.

Susan’s paintings, city views, and landscapes explore how light changes the places we see, and how those places connect with our own memories. You might recognize a familiar view or find yourself remembering somewhere else entirely.

And that blank wall at home or in your office? Every work on display is for sale. Come find a piece you’ll love living with and talking about.

You know a place. Then the light changes, and you see it differently.

That moment runs through Susan Martin Meggs’ Interplays, our latest solo art display now open at the EMD Gallery.

Eclipse-inspired shadows cross buildings, city lights blur beyond a window, and travel sketches invite you to bring your own memories to the view. All works are for sale.

Meet Meggs at the reception on Friday, October 16, from 6 to 8 pm during Farmville’s 3rd Friday Art Walk. Hear directly from the artist and stay for live music, refreshments, adult beverages, and great conversation. The event is free and open to everyone.

When I moved to North Carolina the beach became a place of solace and the shells I collected riddled with holes and scars, fragments and remains of life bearing the marks of time reminded me that beauty lies in the imperfections, experience and choices leave wounds on us all.

These ceramic forms are an act of meditation and care. A repetitive accumulation of forms,textures, marks, scars, holes and wounds.

Graphite is a soft material, it leaves a residue, a mark of it's presence when it comes in contact with a surface just like experiences and moments in our lives leave residual effects in our consciousness. When it is worn how much of a mark will it leave?

It has been a week of #100drawingsin100days
I started this as a practice in observation, to understand the wide variety of natural objects I collect and their meaning in my work. It has been extremely rewarding and informative. I'm looking forward to seeing what this collection of drawings will become over the next ninety-three days.
