Crazy W Creations offers diversity in visual arts
In her own words, Maryllis Wolfgang will tell you that there is more than meets the eye at The Gallery of Crazy W Creations. The downtown gallery is home to one of the installations of Milledgeville’s downtown arts district and consistently promotes the best and brightest of what area artists have to offer.
After recognizing a gift in her work, Wolfgang’s family encouraged her to take her photography work to another level and offer it for sale. Wolfgang’s husband, Dr. Jim Wolfgang, gifted her with the establishment of her business, Crazy W Creations. She spent the next year traveling the arts and crafts circuit along with her husband and best friend. She was pleased to find out that her work would sell, and she located The Gallery of Crazy W Creations in historic downtown Milledgeville.
Crazy W is part of a small conglomeration of local artists and galleries that promote the heritage and presence of the arts in the area.
According to Wolfgang, the offerings of associate artists at Crazy W deal in multiple media for art, and the wide range presents something for people of all ages and walks of life.
The 15 artists who are represented at the gallery have created works in many different areas of work that allow the chosen media to express the subject in sometimes unexpected ways.
Associate Artists include Kim and Pat Black, Latrice Cooper, Robert Dunn, Louise Bousquet, JoAnn Hartley, William Burns, Jackie Hill, Michael Skeen, Cathy Wood, David Newsome, Keely Kitchings Amy Burt and Andrew Gay. The media range from glass to water color to stained glass.
In addition, the gallery supports the work of Creative Expressions, which includes the work of people with disabilities who work to give back to the community through an arts program promoting the self-expression and creativity. The partnership between Georgia College & State University’s music therapy program and the Oconee Center provides an outlet for artistic expression and the ideal that artists are students who never stop learning.
In addition to maintaining the gallery, Wolfgang often finds herself in that comfortable spot behind the lens as she photographs almost any occasion. According to information on her company Web site, www.crazywcreations
.com, Wolfgang creates senior memories for high school students, does informal portraits, pet portraits as well as commercial photography.
Her work can be found in multiple publications around town and will be seen in the upcoming issue of Milledgeville Scene magazine.
