Eileen Braun is a Dunwoody-based ceramic artist whose works include vessels, teapots and wall landscapes. The pieces often have a decidedly animalistic feel, appearing as if she has fused the tradition of utilitarian ceramics, such as teapots, with ocean creatures to create fluid, unusual but still somehow recognizable pieces. In addition to these works, Braun creates pieces that are purely decorative, typically consisting of organic items that seemingly explode from the walls. Braun calls her pieces “nonfunctional ceramic forms -- playful, elegant, humanistic qualities given to objects. Biomorphic. Most seem caught in a frozen moment.” PHOTOS BY ISADORA PENNINGTON

“My favorite part about living here is the flexibility to be as active and sociable as I want!” Meet Christie Kinsaul, who moved to Canterbury Court to downsize and simplify her life. Little did she know how much she would love her new lifestyle. “Maintaining a two-story townhouse and everything in it was taking considerable time and effort. I was ready for some changes, and I wanted to make the move on my own terms.”

Christie didn’t expect to find such luxurious living in a one-bedroom apartment, which she says “is plenty big” and comes with full services and amenities. She was also delighted to discover an abundance of activities designed for resident interests, including outings to local events. As a retired music teacher, she’s especially fond of going to the Atlanta Symphony and the opera.

Alan Vaughn Buckhead resident Alan Vaughn is a semi-abstract artist and craftsman, specializing in handcrafted, handpainted canvas rugs. His pieces feature limited colors, evident brush strokes and plenty of negative space. “The floor cloths are painted canvas area rugs that are durable and can be used anywhere one would use an area rug. Some designs are more traditional lattice patterns or adaptations of Asian woven rugs. Most designs are modern and geometric,” Vaughn said. Many of his pieces are based upon a geometric shape, normally a circle, that is then enhanced by adding brush strokes in a few carefully chosen dark colors throughout the piece. “Imagine a painting on the floor that has been made tough enough to withstand heavy foot traffic and that’s a floor cloth,” he said.
