Preview: Sprout at Kibbee Gallery

Now that winter is a distant, miserable memory here in Atlanta, our parks, neighborhoods, and gardens are filling up with the unstoppable blooms and fresh growth of summer. Sprout at Kibbee Gallery is perfectly timed for that botanical explosion, featuring four artists that explore nature in fascinating detail. Kelly Cloninger, Katherine Gaddy, Julia Kubica and Pam Rogers all work with organic imagery but Kibbee Gallery curator Ann-Marie Manker has carefully chosen a group whose styles compliment one another without repetition.

Sprout doesn’t open until May 1, but the artists were kind enough to give us a peek at their work from the show and field a few questions about nature. Their answers after the jump.
