Join us Saturday from 2pm - 5pm at the New Earth Center, Tennessee's largest New Age/ Metaphysical Healing Arts Center, for a Reception and Showcase to introduce you to the breathtaking, beautiful photography of Kevin Schlatt and the whimsical, vibrant art of Tammie Dodge. Kevin & Tammie will be happy to sign all pieces purchased during the showcase.
Kevin Schlatt has been taking photographs for over 30 years. His photographic "eye" has been informed by a wealth of life experience, personal interests, and values. Kevin is a collector and "saver" who likes to hold on to things, including beautiful moments. He has always had an attraction to and appreciation for the creative process - human stirrings of spirit, heart and soul that inspire the mind-full awareness of using a tool, planting a garden or making music. His love of nature and the Native American culture & heritage are prominent aspects of his life journey.
Kevin and his wife Karen Renée Robb came to Nashville in 2000 based on their interest in music and desire for a simpler life. They have been blessed by having many animal children over the years and currently share their home with three dogs and three cats. All of them have been rescued.

Kevin spent four years as a luthier & repair technician for Gibson Guitar Repair & Restoration where his craftsmanship, eye for detail and focus merged to precisely restore treasured instruments. He left Gibson three years ago to commit his time and energy to the craft he loves - photography!
Kevin really enjoys photographing animals and capturing people in the moment. Special events, family reunions, milestones, important gatherings and historic moments are among his favorite venues. For Kevin it's all about documenting the moment and providing a way for himself and others to re-connect to that moment every time they look.
Come and experience a small portion of the moments Kevin has captured over the years. They are sure to inspire you and stir your emotion.

Tammie Dodge was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, of Cherokee, Choctaw and Chickasaw decent. Tammie's mother said she had a calling to art at a very young age. Growing up her grandfather told her many stories about the Indians and their heritage. He enjoyed showing her art and would take her to the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa which houses the largest collection of western and Native American art ever assembled. His influence had a strong impact on her life and love of being in nature and capturing it on canvas.
Over the years Tammie moved from coloring books to painting and drawing portraits. She did her first few portraits at age 10 for her family, which they loved. Her first painting of "flowers in a vase" created when she was 11 is with her Aunt to this day.
Tammie attended a Magnet school for the Arts and spent four years immersed in art. She loved it. She learned everything from silkscreen printing to block ink printing, sculpture and all kinds of drawing and painting techniques.
After graduating from high school she thought she had to put away her love for art. Tammie went to business school and studied accounting, which lasted 2 years. She hated it. She eventually went back to school at Oklahoma State University for a degree in Visual Communications.
After graduating she went to work at a local television station and has been working in TV ever since. She enjoys the variety of activities that each day brings. Tammie currently works in Nashville at WTVF as an Art Director. Along her journey she has won several awards for design including a few Emmy's. Even with the creativity she experiences each day in her work, Tammie felt something was missing. As a married mother of three, there seemed to be little time to fully express her artistic passion. She watched other friends around her doing craft shows & painting -- giving time to express their inner art in a public way. Envy paved the way for Tammie to finally give herself permission to express her own inner beauty & creativity in an outer way.
Experience Tammie's Vibrations of Color collection this Saturday from 2pm - 5pm, Tammie is happy to hand sign all pieces purchased during the Showcase.
