Athens, Ga. – The University of Georgia College of Environment and Design will host an exhibit of paintings by Bob Hughes, an alumnus and a principal in HGOR, a planning and landscape architect design firm in Atlanta. The opening reception, which coincides with the college’s alumni weekend celebration, will be held March 30 from 2:30 to 4 p.m. in the college’s Circle Gallery. The exhibit, titled A Lighthearted Walk through Serious Matters 2, will run through May 1.

A graduate of UGA’s CED (B.L.A. ’77), Hughes has several decades of experience in landscape design. His paintings explore the notion of landscape with humor and irony.
