This Is My Body Broken For You
by Nan Parrish, Volunteer and Community Activist
This is the first piece I bought that started my collection of Southern living artists. I fell in love with Tony’s work from a postcard sent to me by the Greenville Museum of Art. It has a kind of…
Pyrite and Silver “Bow” pin, circa 1930

Now…You…Lose!
I won’t be silenced by your thoughts.
Nor by the words you say.
I won’t be buried in my hole.
Today is a brand new day.

The photographers of Aerial Innovations of Tennessee, Inc., enjoy the opportunity to see the world from a very different perspective—between 500 and 1000 feet above the earth. Owners Wendy Whittemore and Rachel Paul began the company in Tennessee with the help of clients in the construction and real estate industries. Together with their photographers…
My traveling partner, photographer Anthony Scarlati, and I like to take the path less beaten. We are always looking for new possibilities outside of our urban sprawl. So for us this 84-mile drive down the Old Tennessee Trail was of particular interest. This quickly became a trip of real life and whispers of life…
