Ma Vie"
Sybil McLain-Topel
1961 - 2024

Throughout February
In-Town Gallery presents a celebration and exhibit of the fine art photography of Sybil McLain-Topel.
Sybil’s photography reflects the natural beauty of the Chattanooga area and the human stories within our vibrant city.
A portion of the sale of each photograph bought during this show will be donated to ArtsBuild, and each purchaser will receive a free copy of her most recent book,
A Season Between.



By turns emotionally charged or quirky and humorous, Sybil McLain-Topel’s vision found expression in images that expressed her unique worldview. “When taking photographs,” she said, “I’m looking for the details that tell a story. I want to connect with others, to inspire, and to provide hope.” An alumna of the Holmberg Arts Leadership Institute, Sybil supported the missions of arts organizations and nonprofit agencies, serving on the Board of Directors for ArtBuild and The Pop-up Project. As an active artist, she was a member of In-Town Gallery and Area 61.
Welcome New Artist!
Rick Sanders

“I am primarily an oil painter, working a lot with realistic technique even when the content is not about realism. My latest abstract works are centered around the concept of House and Home. In these paintings, I am exploring color, space and mood.


An award-winning artist, Rick has shown his work across the United States and has been distributed worldwide. He has written for years and has several novels under his belt
He became proficient in a variety of media so he could teach art to students in preschools, colleges and adult education, while also teaching about the historical advancement
