Live For Art Gallery Event in Beulah MI
GALLERY FEATURES LOCAL ARTIST IN AUGUST
BEULAH, Mich., July 20, 2012 – Live for Art Gallery in downtown Beulah will feature the work of Honor, Michigan, artist Mary Kay Niemiec in August. An Artist Reception will be held at the gallery on Sunday, August 5th from 2-4PM.
While primarily a watercolorist, Niemiec also paints with oil and works with mixed media. She has studied with many talented instructors, participated in juried shows, and has had several group and solo presentations. According to Niemiec, “the picturesque surrounding area offers endless inspiration for landscape and nature paintings. I love the process of beginning with a blank canvas and making a statement with style and color.”
Live for Art Gallery showcases paintings, mixed media, pottery, and photography by artists from Great Lakes states. For more information, contact Live for Art Gallery, e-mail Mary@LiveForArtGallery.com or call 231.882.9370.
