Don't miss the First Friday Art Opening of Joe Coggins' work at The Meiere House Antiques located at 270 S. Main St. in Madison on Friday, June 3 at 6:30 pm. The Meiere House phone number is 706-752-0009.
There will be a party on the porch with libations and munchies and you'll get to meet this energetic new Guildie and see his tranquil depictions of nature. We'll also be voting on the Board's nomination of additional board members so be sure and attend! Bring an appetizer and a friend!
Joe, a native Georgia boy who was born and raised in College Park has had a live steeped in all aspects of the business of art. From the wholesale end of things to framing and now print makinig, Joe has not only painted and taught art for 20 yrs , but he's successfully marketed it too. For many years he owned a high end store which sold originals and antique prints and in Florida he and wife Willene owned a boutique which dealt in home accessories, custom framing, original art and antique prints. Heck, Joe even made a mean silk flower arrangement and sold many of them for several hundred dollars each. He's just got that artistic touch!
As an artist, Joe studied under Roman and Constantin Chatov and Ouida Cannady where he perfected his technique. During the 12 years he spent in Florida he really hit his painting hot and heavy and never stopped. He now enjoys life on a Morgan County horse farm owned by his daughter and he and his sweet wife Willene spend lots of time with grand kids and continue to market their antique prints at Scott's Antique Market. Lucky us, he will also have a booth at the Meiere House! Joe also produces high quality giclee prints as another aspect of his business. He can print HUGE prints on his 40" printer, so be sure you talk to him about any printing needs you might have!
