Mélange [may-lahnzh]  Noun a mixture or assortment:  a mélange of styles and mediums [French mêler to mix]   Mélange aptly describes the eclectic styles of the artists and art forms in the July show at Superior Artists Gallery.

Mary J. McHugh paints landscapes of local gardens, woods and lakes with passion and vibrancy.  She gives close attention to the beauty surrounding us.  Her paintings reflect her lifelong love of the outdoors.

Mary Methven’s impressionistic style comes through in her newest works for Mélange with her close up depiction of horses as well as the concentrated expressions of roosters and cats.

Wendy Deerly Reese works with a variety of organic and man made materials to produce one of a kind  masks that explore what Carl Jung called “vessels for the archetypal powers”.

What Lois Stensvad loves best about her gourds is that they come from the earth.  With just some basic tools, dyes, and paints, she creates three dimensional pieces with few artistic limitations.

       

NEWS:
Member Laurie Otis has published her first book, 'The Amarantha Stories', which is now available at Superior Artists Gallery.

'The Amarantha Stories' chronicles one woman's life-long odyssey, from a young girl born to a poor Swedish immigrant family in Wisconsin, to a high school student struggling to come to grips with that family; then later, a college student learning the ways of the world and wanting to better herself, a middle-aged woman in a new world, struggling with her right to choose, and finally, an elderly woman, more like her mother than she ever imagined she'd be.  Even at the end, Amarantha is still struggling, hoping to reconcile her past with what's left of her future.

Blending a subtle sense of foreboding and dark humor with a seamless writing style, Laurie Otis has created an everlasting story sure to resonate with readers of all generations.


What's on the Great Wall

Where is the Great Wall?  It is directly behind the front desk in the front room of Superior Artists Gallery.  The art work on this wall changes monthly and always has a theme.  Stop in each month and see.
