The versatile McMillan has several of his works throughout the home including his tree series. A very striking new work is displayed at the end of their hallway leading to the bedroom, and it has created a lot of talk among guests. The artist has built a framed “box” a couple of inches thick. He painted the background a stark black and has fashioned a three-dimensional, oldfashioned woman’s gown, beginning with the painted ivory bodice, ribboned and lovely. The flowing gown is a cut-screen panel overlay. Behind the screen are the “bones of the dress” with tiny rose buds and a hummingbird-like nest perched in the branches. It is truly innovative. Everywhere you look, there’s a memory, a story and a beautiful piece of art reminding Martha Ann and Murray of some wonderful time in their life ... and there are still plenty of nooks and crannies left.

“The Newnan Center is extremely convenient and, in today’s economy, not having a commute is a financial boost. I also work on campus in a job within my major that gives me experience in the technology industry. The Newnan Center is like one big family — you know everyone. But I’m also looking forward to having the full college experience when I take my last two years of classes in Carrollton.” Newnan’s Craig McMillan is the artist behind “Maiden Duchesse” at the Parks home in Newnan.
