Laura Lanford / Artist & Instructor

Laura Lanford is a representational impressionist who has always had a love of art. She studied graphic design/illustration for two years at Auburn University but took a different career path. She became serious about oil painting after retiring from her private speech therapy practice.

Laura has taken professional level workshops from artists around the country.

However, it wasn’t until she became a mentoring student of artist James Richards that she began to truly begin to understand the language of painting.

Today, Laura loves to paint using a light and shadow approach.  Her subject matter ranges from city scapes to landscapes as well as still life and children.  Laura teaches oil painting workshops and weekly classes at Wild Hope Gallery in Roswell as well as J. Richards Gallery in Decatur.

Laura has participated in several juried shows and sells her work through Wild Hope Gallery.

Bob Cargill / Artist

Suggested reading: The Bee And The Acorn by Paula Susan Wallace

Bob’s introduction to the world of advertising began when he was hired as a young Art Director for N.  W. Ayer and Son, in Philadelphia. The agency, Ayer Worldwide was successful and had a reputation for outstanding brand development.

Bob’s assignment on one of the most exciting creative teams within the agency, found him working on United Airlines, Sealtest, Dole Pineapple and Hanes. That unique experience in one of the world’s most successful and creative advertising agencies was the beginning of his excitement for advertising.

In 1965 he was hired to be the creative director of the Atlanta office of the McCann Marschalk Company Advertising Agency. Working on the Coca-Cola Company Brands. During that time he was invited to Lecture on several occasions at the Atlanta College of Art. This was his introduction to the Associates of the Atlanta College of Art, which led to an invitation to become a member of the Board of Directors, Inc. and Bob became CEO and Chairman of the Board.

Bob founded and was president of Cargill and Associates, Inc., a very successful venture with national awards and international recognition. In 1990 the agency merged with Cole, Henderson and Drake Inc. and bob became the CEO and Chairman of the agency.

While chairman of CHD, Bob developed a serious interest in watercolor painting. That interest led him to want to explore the medium full time. Bob says, “my years in advertising automatically trained me to decide on what makes a good design and/or a good visual to please the eye. These skills transfer to his paintings, which have been described as “fresh and crafted”.

Now a member of the Georgia Watercolor Society, Atlanta Artist Center and currently a member of Atlanta Advisory Council of the Savannah College of Art and Design. Bob maintains an intense interest in improving his painting skills and continues to attend watercolor courses and workshops with nationally renowned skip Lawrence, Tony Couch, Albert Handell and Bill Condit.

Bob is married. He and his wife Barbara have two grown children, Colleen and Todd.
