Center Gallery: Artist reception for Linda Beeman

Linda Beeman looks “at nature through the eyes of mokuhanga” — an ancient form of Japanese woodblock printing. And what the artists sees will be on display Aug. 17 – 30 at Center Gallery, 6023 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. A artist’s reption to open the exhibition is Friday, Aug. 17, 6 – 8 pm.

Beeman keeps mokuhanga alive and well in her studio practice, and adheres to the traditions that have carried through the centuries and make this an expressive approach to depicting the natural world. “ Each print is the cumulative process of hand carving, hand painting and hand printing,” said Beeman, a resident of Owosso, Michigan. “They are not copies.” Instead, each print Beeman makes is pulled by hand without any mechanical help.

Center Gallery is open daily 11 am – 5 pm. For more information go to www.lakestreetstudiosglenarbor.com, or call 231-334-3179.
