“Cooling Off” by Guy Coheleach

 

Coheleach is a frequent traveler to U.S. National Parks, Alaska, Europe, South America and Africa to gather visual reference for his painting. His exciting adventures include being run down by an elephant in Zambia.  Philanthropic as well as artistic, his endowment provides approximately six full scholarships to the School of Wildlife Management annually for needy students.  You will be able to personally experience the mastery of Guy Coheleach at the Court House Cultural Center from February 2-April 10, 2018.
