Mackinaw's Little Gallery

"Sigh," just one of a handful of my original paintings on hand at Mackinaw Island's newest gem, Mackinaw's Little Gallery. Gallery opens in May 2012. Inquiries may come togallery staff.

I am absolutely delighted to announce that Mackinaw Island's newest business, Mackinaw's Little Gallery, will be representing my artwork this coming season.   The gallery sits on Market Street in the heart of this charming island, a place steeped in history, a slower paced lifestyle, spectacular landscape and carriage horses (cars are not allowed on the island).   The space will open in May with an international collection of equine and animal themed work. MLG will add to the community's festivals and events by inviting artists (myself included) for live paints, demonstrations, and classes/workshops.   Perhaps I'll get a chance to see you there?   Fingers and toes crossed, Kim ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com

A spread from my journal titled "Pirouette", done during one of The Princess's dance classes and inspired by the music and movement and smiling faces of her classmates.   grownUPs Journalling   We meet on the 3rd Thursdays of every month, and today is the day! 6-8pm at Little Monsters in Downtown Lake Orion.   Tonite we'll be working in layers using water media, an approach perfectly suited for creating backgrounds.
