Whitehall, Michigan artist Cara O'Brien will be a featured artist in Lansing Art Gallery's Gallery Shop from May 3 - 29th.

As an avid gardener, nature lover and tactile learner, Cara finds herself studying leaves, bark, bugs, trees, fungi, stones, bones, grass, dirt clumps, pinecones, under water creatures, or whatever is currently at hand. Bit by bit these little natural lines and textures find their way into her artistic ideas.

Her current works include making numerous individual porcelain components, altering found wood slabs or metal sheets and then combining the handmade and altered materials. Through these wall sculptures, she transforms the handmade and found objects into something that suggests life, growth, and change.

Traverse City artist, Stephen Palmer, will exhibit at Lansing Art Gallery May 3 – 29th.

Stephen’s exhibit, School of Fish, includes fish sculptures created with a variety of everyday items. Saw blades, screwdrivers, and crutches to name a few. Stephen states, “the use of crutches for my fish represent what humans are doing to the oceans and the fish of the world. By using vintage pieces for the insides of my fish I am in a sense reusing items that might otherwise be tossed aside. “

Born in California, Steve was raised by a poet and a painter. Although Stephen’s exhibition is mixed media, he has worked in Batik, photography, and glass.

Lansing Art Gallery presents Explosive Tendencies: Motion in Action, by Amelia Falk. The exhibition is a photographic study of the definition of motion.

Amelia states, “Whether I choose to show the blur which indicates the speed of the action or freeze it completely, there is always a hint of what has occurred. This may be shown through the folds in a dress or some other material which captures and makes visible the passage of air that happens during a movement.”

Amelia has an extensive visual arts education, and has been a photographer since a very young age. Amelia also has a background as an educator, teaching several photography courses at local colleges, and even participating as a judge in Lansing Art Gallery’s Art Scholarship Alert program.

Join us for a Community Reception on January 4th, from 7:00pm - 9:00pm.

Lansing Art Gallery is pleased to present Threadlines by Dolores S. Slowinski. Threadlines is a contemporary look at the relationship between thread and paper.

Dolores states, “I begin by making large holes in paper with an industrial sewing machine to outline shapes. The infill drawing is done by hand, spontaneously… I enjoy the contrast of the industrial perforation with the delicate handwork; the loud, clashing speed of the one process with the silent meditative pace of the other.”

With a BFA in Weaving and Ceramics from Wayne State University, Dolores has exhibited in many galleries across Michigan after her active career as an arts administrator and writer.
