The online viewing of this exhibition is sponsored by:
Michele Steffen “Portraits, Figures and Fairy Tales”
January 2022 | The Cultural Centre | Watercolor, Acrylics
Michele and her beautiful art work are such a joy! We hope you’ll enjoy taking a walk with her through the exhibition as she give bits of insight on the different works. Portraits, Figures and Fairy Tales will be on exhibit at the Cultural Centre through February 14th.
The simplest explanation for my work is that being creative is a tool I use for exploring the thoughts, ideas or surroundings I find compelling. Depending upon the piece of art, it represents my desire to either engage with or formulate a complete idea about a subject, or a means to share something I find particularly poignant or beautiful. The style and medium I use in each work is chosen in order to express myself most effectively.
