by Paula Francis

by Carolyn Riess-Dodson

Local artist Paula Francis will host an event at her home featuring the work of talented artists, as well as live music, from 12-8 p.m. Saturday, May 4.

Artists exhibiting work include Francis, Carolyn Riess Dodson and others.

Francis is the proprietor of Paula Francis Designs, offering residential, commercial and kitchen design, home staging and more. She graduated from O’More College in Franklin, Tenn., and says she always remains conscious of design principals when creating her one-of-a-kind art pieces, and wants her works to be a colorful, exciting, sometimes whimsical addition to any home décor.

Dodson, one of Middle Tennessee’s premiere abstract artists, has taught her unique painting style to students for years. She’s been featured in several prominent art galleries and her works are hung and enjoyed by many from New York to Tennessee. This one-day show is an opportunity to view and purchase her original abstracts, landscapes and still lives, and meet this artist, and others.

The home is located at 415 E. Main St., Murfreesboro.
