Congratulations to Kathleen Conover on having a piece of her work featured in the July/August Artist's Magazine. It is a frozen crystal painting and it is part of an article by Lisa Cyr on innovative art techniques titled "join an Artistic Revolution". Her piece is on page 65.

Patti Sevensma

Patti Sevensma is our artist of the month for June. Her photos are amazing and her photo montages and nature collages combined with photography, like these shown here, are full of layers of mystery.

Kathleen Conover- artist of the month

This month we are pleased to present Kathleen Conover as the artist of the month of May. The gallery offers original art, giclee prints (with high quality archival ink) and sets of notecards by this wonderful northern Michigan artist. She has been a teacher and an inspiration to many of the Fire and Water artists. She has just returned from a trip to Ireland and we look forward to seeing the art this trip inspired!

Kathleen will have work featured in the new publication from Northlight Books, ART Revolution: Alternative Approaches fro Fine Artists and Illustrators by Lisa L. Cyr

Yellow Dog River installation

Kathleen Mooney's Yellow Dog River series is on display in Okemos, Michigan at the Public Library on Okemos Road. Her powerful images are interspersed with photos of the area in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan where the Yellow Dog River is endangered by sulfide mining and bad environmental decisions.

video- not great but you get the idea!

These are my beginning forays into video. I just found out my digital can take movies. They are a little primitive but you can get an idea of the flow of the space at Fire and Water ART! The last two feature our fearless leader and her wonderful paintings, working on some of the mundane details of being an artist. I'll have to video her painting process sometime!

Jan Y. Johnson Artist of the Month for April

This month we are delighted to feature a wonderful artist, Jan Y. Johnson. She is a Lowell resident and arts advocate. She has been a painter all her life, worked in graphic design and does exquisite watercolors and acrylics. Stop in to see her work displayed on her large red wall. Wow!
