Mary has said of her work, “My work is created from single-use, post-consumer plastic bags and packaging. You know, the stuff your groceries, carrots and diapers come in. For this show, I’m working thematically with the ideas of chaos and calm. It’s reflective of what’s currently happening in the world. We are confronted with chaos in our leadership everyday and search for calm as an antidote. I’m using the simple shapes of lines and circles to reflect these ideas and how they can reflect both chaos and calm. I’m working with these themes in series of flower imagery, color-scapes, waterscapes and landscapes. It is imagery created using non-traditional materials, which would have ordinarily ended up in a landfill or possibly recycled. It emerged as my own personal response to the disgusting amount of plastic that streams through our lives on a daily basis, and how our mindless consumption of it needs more awareness. My process often starts with a goal in mind, but because the material is relatively unpredictable, I usually end up allowing the material dictate as we go. There is a whole of less frustration that way and process is funner. What may have started out as a landscape, could very well end up at stems for flowers. The process is very fluid and I’m not necessarily always leading the way.”

Artist in Resident talk: Patricia Schaefer
2019-08-30 12:00 - 13:00 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
Painter Patricia Schaefer will discuss a new series of paintings that explore the human body and bodies of water she plans to create as part of her 2019 artist’s residency with the Glen Arbor Arts Center. The presentation is August 30, noon at the GAAC, 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor.
Each of the GAAC’s artists-in-residence gives a conversational overview of their residency. These presentations offer a chance to hear about the resident’s project, and the process they experienced during their two-week stay. Schaefer’s GAAC residency was a chance to explore the overlay of the human body in the landscape – as well as ask questions about how human bodies and bodies of water intersect, and explore the political, environmental land existential questions that study prompts. San Francisco, California, is Schaefer’s home base.
The GAAC artist-in-residence presentation are free and open to the public. For more information go to

Jeff said of his work, “My love for color, interiors, shape and form has inspired my most recent group of paintings and drawings. Finding places to rest, places to stop and breathe and daydream reflect a need in our lives to slow down to take time to gaze upon beautiful colors. I trained in painting and graphic design at Kendall College of Art & Design. My work has a certain close up and cropped look, bringing the viewer into a scene to recall a feeling or space the viewer may have experienced, like the feeling and energy of someone about to enter a room or having just been there. Working with color, light, and brush stroke, I capture a moment where one is aware of the energy or sense of being in that very moment.”
