Artist Reception | Royce Deans
2018-08-31 18:00 | Center Gallery at Lake Street Studios

Lake St., Glen Arbor. An artist’s reception to open the show is Friday, August 31, 6 pm – sundown in the gallery.
“While my work is based on specific places, I’m more concerned about the essence of the place than I am about being completely representational,” Deans said. “I am nearly always in wonder of the natural world around me. Its beauty and balance gives me peace. Many years ago I was much more interested in pop culture and the things that man has created to make living on this planet easier and to keep us entertained. But these accomplishments of man, which are many and are indeed astounding are ever changing, breaking or going out of style.”
Center Gallery is open daily 11 am – 5 pm. For more information go to www.lakestreetstudiosglenarbor.com, or call 231-334-3179

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.
