Local artist Susan N McCollough exhibits at Alabama Gallery

Gulf Shores artist and gallery owner, Susan N McCollough, has her works on exhibit at the University of Alabama Gallery in Tuscaloosa. The solo exhibition, “An Expressionist’s Journey” includes twelve large abstract paintings and one sculpture of Coach Nick Saban (above), a special project that she took on that became a featured centerpiece of the exhibit. McCollough sculpted a slightly larger than life-size bust of Saban. Cast in bronze, in an edition of 6, the bronze cast from this exhibit was gifted to Nick’s Kids Foundation (by Terry and Nick Saban) that will be housed in the Saban Center once it is completed. In written remarks given at the reception, Terry Saban stated that “We thought bronze statues were reserved for philosophers and presidents, not “The Process”. Until the Saban Center is completed the sculpture will reside safely in our home so that Amelie and James can see their pawpaw when he is not at home.”
Another bust from this edition is housed at the Paul B. Bryant Museum in Tuscaloosa and another will be housed at the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in Birmingham. “It is a highlight in my art career to come home to my Alma Mater for this solo exhibit,” McCollough said.
