ocal Color Gallery has been a leading source for artwork created by Tennesseans for the past 24 years. In celebration, the gallery will open a show of new work from local artist Thalia Kahl. Moved by the way light and shadow can transform the ordinary into an object of beauty, Kahl creates rich, colorful oil paintings of a variety of inspiring subjects, including still life, landscapes, figure, and cityscapes. Owner Brooke Robinson purchased the gallery nine years ago and infused it with her love of art. The gallery features over 30 very diverse artists working in a variety of media and styles.
