Colors of Atlanta: David Batterman
Atlanta is a city of constant reinvention, where old and new intersect in unpredictable ways. For David Batterman, a longtime visual artist, photographer and educator, this ever-evolving landscape is both a canvas and a source of inspiration. From the grungy, raw spaces of Underground Atlanta to the pristine darkrooms of his classroom, Batterman’s work captures the beauty of everyday life and the creative energy that fuels the city’s arts scene.
