Studio Swan | Artist Studios & Exhibitions

A working artist studio where two long-time artists create, exhibit, and live the work.

Quick summary: Studio Swan is an artist studio and creative space in Chattahoochee Hills focused on fine art, ecological themes, and long-form creative practice.

If you’re curious about where real, working artists make their work—not a gallery, not a shop—this is one of those places. Studio Swan is the shared professional home of artists Gail Foster and Thomas Swanston, partners in art and life for more than four decades.

What this is: a working studio inside a restored historic Masonic lodge, where art is actively being made. The space supports two distinct but connected practices—Foster’s expressive mixed-media and Swanston’s nature-driven, ecologically focused work.

Why locals trust it: this isn’t performative art. Both artists have long exhibition histories, deep roots in the region, and real involvement in the Serenbe arts community, including connections to artist residencies and Rural Studio.

One thing you’ll notice: the building itself matters. The lodge isn’t a backdrop—it’s part of the rhythm of daily making.
