FEBRUARY/MARCH 2013 MACON MAGAZINE I 67 Georgia summers are sweltering, but the Macon Arts Alliance has an event to help you beat the heat. "Fun in the Sun" is a beach-themed exhibit featuring the incredible collage paintings of Macon- artist Lucy Richardson and ceramic-artist Lauren Bausch. From her new series, "Permanent Vacation,' Richardson creates stunning images of women living in a perpetual paradise. Under the umbrella, on a float, and with a drink in hand, her sunbathing beauties will perk your spirits on the hottest days of summer. These works of art are perfect for the beach house or the Macon house. Remind yourself that it's always 5 o'clock somewhere with a colorful painting by Lucy Richardson. Bausch is a young ceramicist living in Centerville, Georgia who is quickly becoming an area favorite. She creates whimsical ceramic mugs, intricate ceramic jewelry, and sculptural pieces reminiscent of coral reefs. Her beautiful and colorful pottery is the perfect compliment to Richardson's vibrant paintings. You'll be inspired to drink your Mai-Tai from a mug when you see Lauren's new work. "Fun in the Sun" opens at The Gallery at Macon Arts Alliance with a First Friday reception on July 5 from 5-8 p.m. Admission is free and beach-themed refreshments will be served.
