Angel of the Arcade, by Stacy Widelitz

The Janet Levine March Gallery will feature the photography of Stacy Widelitz. Widelitz is both a composer and photographer. He started composing professionally at nineteen and came to prominence with the song "She's Like the Wind," co-written with Patrick Swayze and featured in Swayze's blockbuster Dirty Dancing. As a photographer, Stacy travels the world capturing emotional moments of human expression through the lens of his camera which will be the theme of his first exhibit at the J Galleries.

Evening Clouds, by Sandy Burr

The JLMG2 Gallery will feature the photographic work of Sandy Burr. A transplant from Connecticut, Sandy now calls Nashville home. For her work as a photographer, she draws on her skills as a former graphic designer. She has perfected an encaustic technique that requires soaking the images (printed on high-quality photo rag paper) with hot encaustic medium and then applying several coats of cold wax. The resulting image has the look and feel of fine leather.

The Sig Held Gallery will feature the work of Kim Sanderson. Kim is a graduate of
