According to their website, "Gifts of Art brings the world of art and music to patients, visitors and staff at the University of Michigan Health System.

Opening Reception at Shiawassee Art Center

We had a wonderful turnout for the opening reception of "Four Michigan Women Artists".  The works of Janet Baugher - encaustic photos and hand made jewelery, Cindy Evans - multi media paintings, Jane Cloutier's paper sculptures and my moku hanga prints make a very interesting and beautiful exhibit.

The exhibit runs through Nov. 5 at Shiawassee Art Center, 206 Curwood Castle Drive, Owosso.
Thanks to the the show sponsors: Dana & Patricia Cluckey, Gilbert's True Value Hardware, Wells Fargo Advisors, The Schluckebier/Hood Investment Team, and Young Buick-Cadillac-Chevrolet-GMC.

Coming Home

 

Please join me at the opening reception Friday, September 23, 6-8pm, as I "come home" to the Shiawassee Arts Center.  SAC Sept-Nov. 2011  The building that houses the SAC is right next door to where my childhood home was on the Shiawassee River.  It's fitting that 12 Views of the Shiawassee River is showing where my first memories of the river were created. 
Other river inspired work by Jane Cloutier (paper sculpture) and Janet Baugher (jewelry & encaustic), along with Cindy Evans paintings of Yellowstone, make this a fascinating mixed media exhibit with nature as the star! 

Blue Moon

Not "once in a blue moon" but 3 times! 

Jan, Jane and I created Blue Moon pieces, 

each in our own medium.

The exhibit opens September 20 and runs until November 5.  

Shiawassee Art Center is open Tuesday - Sunday, 1 - 5pm.
