Description:
Offered here is an original watercolor landscape by John Kollock (1928–2014), the celebrated Georgia artist and designer who transformed the town of Helen, Georgia into a picturesque Bavarian Alpine village. This work depicts a charming alpine-style structure nestled among rolling hills, a theme closely tied to Kollock’s vision for Helen. It is signed lower right.

Artist Background:
John Kollock was a Georgia-born artist, illustrator, and visionary best known for his role in the redesign of Helen, Georgia in the late 1960s. Working with local business and town leaders, he developed the alpine village concept that transformed a declining logging town into a thriving tourist destination. Today, Helen is one of Georgia’s most visited spots, known for its Bavarian-style architecture, shops, and festivals.

Kollock’s original watercolors are rare, as most of his works available to collectors are limited-edition prints. His paintings capture the charm of southern landscapes and European-inspired architectural designs with exceptional skill.

• Original watercolor by John Kollock

• Signed lower right

• Likely a concept/design study for one of Helen’s alpine-style structures

• Professionally framed under glass (25" x 20.5")
