I OFTEN FEEL MUSIC CITY IS MISLABELED. Yes, it's where a country music artist is born, but there's so much more to Nashville and its surrounding suburbs (Franklin!) than just music. Franklin is a community of passionate artists, aspiring authors, stimulating writers, innovative designers, diverse entrepreneurs, gifted musicians and so much more. And in this issue, you'll get to meet just a handful of the many, many talented makers that comprise our rich, creative community.

We are continually inspired by the culture our city is bursting with, so for your next night out, we explore a few options for stage, screen, dinner and music.

Whatever your talent, we hope you find some of your own inspiration in these pages and unleash your unbridled creativity!

PUCKETT'S OF LEIPER'S FORK LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN TO GET MORE BATHROOMS Puckett’s of Leiper’s Fork is on a preservation mission to expand its bathrooms in a monumental investment that could serve to be the most expensive bathrooms in in the state costing more than $580,000.

“Puckett’s of Leiper’s Fork has been serving Tennessee since 1953 with one bathroom,” says owner Rob Robinson. “We have spent $580,000 to add bathrooms to the historic store, and they are not done yet. If you have ever waited in line to potty in Leiper’s Fork, you know what we are up against.”

In regards to the expansion, the biggest investment was allotted to cover the purchase of the land behind the restaurant to support the water filtration system needed to accommodate the number of visitors to the attraction. Beyond the land purchase and new filtration system, owners Rob and Shanel Robinson are planning

ARTICLE MARIA DINOIA | PHOTOGRAPHY HANY RAMZY

Franklin Lifestyle | February 2019

/the artist: David Arms WHAT REAL-LIFE SITUATION HAS INSPIRED YOU IN YOUR WORK? Actually, “real life” is what inspires my work on a daily basis. I paint from what I think, I believe and from my experiences on this journey called life. Hope and faith are the foundation of my work, and I paint about them in very honest ways. So I guess you could say that coming to faith has inspired my work more than anything.

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM PROJECT? For years I have wanted to interpret the story of the prodigal son. Because that’s what we all are. I want to paint it symbolically so that every viewer can put themselves inside the story. But the way to approach it has yet to come. It’s a complex story that can be viewed from the standpoint of every character involved. So I continue to wait.

HOW HAS YOUR WORK CHANGED OVER TIME? In the beginning, I painted with much color and very loosely. Over time, without being conscious of it, my work became more and more detailed. I was suddenly painting realism. Now as a challenge to myself—I love a great challenge—I periodically step into abstract. It pushes me harder than anything I have tried so far.

the administrator: Nan Zierden President of the Arts Council of Williamson County WHAT REAL-LIFE SITUATION HAS INSPIRED YOU IN YOUR WORK WITH THE COUNCIL? Personally, it’s all about connections and providing interactions for people from all backgrounds to experience art in unique, non-traditional and traditional ways. I love experiencing the creative process through the eyes of others. It’s fantastic to be able to facilitate that experience for individuals and our community.

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM PROJECT? We have a big vision. Our vision is to create a permanent home that will anchor the visual arts in Franklin and Williamson County. When this vision is realized, the Arts Council will showcase the local talented artists in our county and throughout Middle Tennessee and provide a space where classes will be held, where studio spaces for artists will be available, where artwork will be exhibited for locals and tourists to enjoy and purchase. In addition, we will collaborate with and support the arts organizations in the community by providing meeting space, networking opportunities, idea sharing and art exhibitions.

HOW HAS YOUR WORK WITH THE COUNCIL CHANGED OVER TIME? The Arts Council started in 2006, and I came on in 2015.

At that time, we focused on collaborating with other like-minded nonprofit social and civic organizations to help reach new audiences. Now, we are focused on creating a permanent home for the visual arts in Williamson County so that we can make a greater impact in our community. The visual artists in our area, like the music and performance-based arts, deserve to showcase their work in a gallery-type setting. We believe a nonprofit Arts Center is sustainable and is an economically sound and beneficial addition to our dynamic community.

experience SUNSET VIEWS

About 25 minutes up the coast is where you can catch sights of what people often refer to as arguably the best sunsets you’ll ever see. Catch some of the best panoramic views of Santorini from 15th-century Byzantine castle ruins.

Situated on the side of caldera cliffs, Oia village offers tons of breathtaking viewing spots. Be sure to get there well before sunset—because of the area’s sundown popularity, you’ll find crowds of people gathered on streets, rooftops and stairs anticipating the one-of-akind experience.

PARTING THOUGHTS

what are you working on? with Angela Powers

THERE IT IS AGAIN. That empty spot on the wall that you pass every day. Remaining empty because deciding on a piece of wall art that is tasteful and meaningful can be daunting work. Many locals with this same problem are finding a solution with Angela Powers Fine Art. Angela Powers is a Nashville native who has been painting for as long as she can remember. Although wellversed in a myriad of mediums and styles, her latest endeavor includes the furriest of clients: pets.

“A couple of years ago, I painted my first few pet paintings, and I’m hooked. I really believe this is my gift.”

She starts with several pictures taken from clients and chooses one or combines them for a sketch. Once the sketch is approved, it is then oil painted, varnished and framed.

“My paintings are not exact copies of photos. They are much more than that. I have a passion for capturing the heart of pets through beautiful color and lively brushwork… to capture the likeness, personality and spirit of your pet that you will love and treasure for a lifetime.”

Pet Portraits are finished in two to three weeks on average, and prices start at $350. For more information, visit AngelaPowersFineArt.com.
