That’s right Gainesville . . . we’ve got something brewing up your way!
Inman Perk Coffee is now hiring for the opening of its newest location. Come help us bring a new kind of coffee shop to Gainesville:
Sadly, our torrid love affair with Emory Village has come to an early end. Last week we learned of a failing infrastructure problem in our building that is beyond our control . . . and unfortunately, this has required us to close down our doors at Emory. We know it was a short stint, but we’ll miss you! We’ve had a great time getting to know the Emory community . . . and we hope you’ll bridge the short gap and come visit us in Inman Park!
It’s no secret that we like to hire us some artsy types here at Inman Perk Coffee. Not only do they keep us sane during our daily grind with their constant creativity . . . but they often give us something to look forward to above and beyond the coffee stores. Every once in a while, one of our own gives us a little clip of something their working on . . . and we like to share! So without further ado, here is one of our Baristas in the Wild:

On display now at our Inman Park location are the beautiful works of painter Lareina Lynn. Her urban fashion series of vintage inspired models shows excellent stylization and use of color directly on raw wood. She showcases her flexible painting styles in other series such as still lifes and landscapes. Come view her work and visit during the closing reception on April 5 from 7-9pm.
The new Inman Park loaction of Inman Perk Coffee, at: 240 North Highland Ave, Suite H, is pleased to display the recent paintings of Atlanta artist Sharon Lapin. Her recent series is titled “Portals”. She describes the subject matter as, “ depicting private portals of thought. These pieces feature similar compositional arrangements while exploring considerably different themes. In each painting, a round-shaped threshold appears to invite the viewer inside, yet a pair of sentinels stand confrontationally and serve to prevent total immersion into these interior realms.”
Sharon paints on wooden cradleboards to provide a sturdy support for the main painting medium- encaustic wax. Painting with encaustic involves using a heated beeswax & resin mixture with pigment. At room tempurature, the paint is solid. When heated on an electric palette, it can be applied quickly to a wooden surface & reheated using a heat gun. Another common medium in her work is gouache. Gouache is similar to watercolor, in that it is a suspension of pigment in water. But, gouache is heavier and more opaque, with superior reflective qualities.
