Millie Gosch expresses her love of
nature in her plein air oil paintings. “I am inspired by my surroundings both at
home and in my travels,” she says. The landscape paintings in her
gallery attest to her close connection with nature. She also paints vibrant still lifes
that give viewers a new look at the color and shapes
of the everyday things around them.
In a recent interview with Melissa
Galt on Radio Sandy Springs, Millie describes her passion for Plein Air
Painting.

Many thanks to
Melissa Galt and
Radio Sandy Springs for permission to share this interview.
For me, art is an
expression of my love of nature. The colors and energy of the outdoors create in
me a need to capture those qualities in a permanent way. I especially love
serene landscapes, and I try to simplify them to highlight that serenity. With
my brushstrokes I hope to take the viewer to a special place: the quiet
reflection of a special moment in time.

“Painting was always a part of me,” says Mille Gosch, who has painted since she
was a child. She pursued
her passion in art studies at Salem College in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Later. she returned to her native Georgia and settled in the
Atlanta area. After a successful career in the decorative arts, Ms. Gosch
returned to her first love of fine arts.
A native of a classic southern town, Newnan, Georgia, she finds the lowlands and
rural fields in the area and the marshes and waters of coastal Georgia
inspirations for her landscape paintings. She is active in bringing well-know
plein air painters to the Southeast to teach workshops. Ms. Gosch has won
several awards, most recently as a finalist in the prestigious RayMar Second
Annual Fine Art Competition with her oil painting “Sunrise in Summer.” She has
been accepted in exhibitions throughout Georgia and in the Southeast. Her work
hangs in numerous private collections and she is represented by four Georgia
galleries: Frameworks Gallery, Marietta; Two Sisters Gallery, Columbus; and Panoply,
Newnan.
