Annette Cone-Skelton

Annette Cone-Skelton employs a minimal approach to the elements of color and shape to explore relationships of space to human dimension. In 9 Women in Georgia, she states that "When one draws a line one time, it is a line. When one draws line a thousand times, it is transformed."

Cone-Skelton began curating for CGR Advisors (private real estate investment firm) corporate art collection in 1989 in collaboration with Firm President, David S. Golden. Over 12 years they amassed 250 pieces from 110 artists that chronicled Georgia's history from World War II to the late ’90s. In 2000, CGR downsized their offices necessitating a new home for the extensive collection of works. Cone-Skelton's vision for the artwork, "to focus on Georgia artists and place them in the context of a global environment by showing their work alone and in group exhibitions with national and international artists", was realized when she and Golden co-founded the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia.
