Lagerquist
Gallery,
Atlanta’s

abstract artist, Briant Matheson, April 12-28, 2012.
Mr. Matheson
is
a self taught artist who has been working in unused mediums for much of his
career. Mr. Matheson believes, “If I were to
generalize my painting style I would suggest that it is “collage” in nature.
First I size up the space, insert the shapes or objects and balance the tones.
Painting provides me with a new freedom of expression. |

clothing and shoes. Historic in its establishment, the store has been open for
over 25 years, but it was a dramatic redesign in 2006 that marked the advent of
the stores evolution into a purveyor of some of streetwears’ most sought after
labels and an iconic destination. Lauren Amos, a Georgia
native and the owner and creative force behind Wish, wanted the store, which formally housed a

When the Obama administration rolled out the Home Affordable
Modification Program (HAMP) in 2009, officials estimated 3 to 4 million
borrowers would seek relief from their mortgages through the program amidst the
worst recession and housing market collapse in decades.More than two years later, those projections have proven to be
optimistic, to say the least. According to the Treasury Department, about
700,000 homeowners had sought aid from HAMP through the third quarter of
2011.
That’s a long way from 3
million-plus. |
