Had a wonderful visit with my friend Mark McClane the other weekend. He is Executive Director of Osage Art Community in Belle, Missouri, where I was an artist-in-residence last summer. Very recently, he opened the new Art Center in Belle, too.
Osage Arts Community – Art Center
The inaugural exhibition at the Art Center is a show of regional high school students, promoting creativity in the Belle community. It’s a beautiful gallery space, full of lots of natural light.

The Art Center has a gallery space, a community classroom studio, as well as a studio for Osage Arts Community artists-in-residence – along with a bedroom, kitchen and bath for an artist to reside in the Art Center!

I’m so honored that Mark has asked me to show my mixed-media paintings with ceramic artist Josh Sommer in the Art Center from June to September! More details and photos soon!
Have a great beginning to your week!
