imagine a... Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center Press Release Abbey Griffin, Mimi Little and Suzanne Shelden are local artists with a wide audience. The Artist's Reception is Sunday, November 6 from 2pm to 6pm. The artists will also be attending the reception for AMG's "Toys" exhibit on Friday, October 14 from 6pm to 9pm as well as AMG's reception for the spectacular Show of Light (date to be determined). Finally, the artists will offer demonstrations in AMG's "Living Gallery" in January of 2012. Check AMG's Calendar of events at www.annmariegarden.org. John Lennon's song "Imagine" expresses a shared passion of these artists. They too have a story to tell about a world where food is plenty, animals and their habitats are respected where personal histories are art and where people love the communities in which they live. Mimi Little, intrigued by the traditions and culture of food, has produced paintings that tell the story of family traditions and community gatherings with the common thread being the cooking and partaking of food. Abbey Griffin has a passion for preserving natural habitats and the creatures we love /or not (e.g. the turkey vulture). She also imagines a world with her father alive and sailing in the boats he built. Suzanne Shelden is well known for her vivid depictions of local scenery. She plans, for this event, to see where her imagination might take her. Color and narrative drive each artist to create series of work that are at once personal and universal. This is a show of stories they have to tell. Annmarie Garden is a special place, a magical place. The artists are honored and grateful to the board and staff for all they do to give art a great place to thrive in Calvert County. Located in the mezzanine gallery, the artists will be attending the following events: in January, imagine a... demonstrations and events
