Artist Reception at Grand Bohemian Lodge
Collaborate Art Installation & Exhibition with Mark Mulfinger & Shelley Cade.
“A space to seek the sentimental and find comfort and peace. A haven of her.”
The idea sprouted under the collaborative roof of Railside Studios and outside upon clothes-pinned batiks drying on the line. With Summer upon us, we dreamed and drew up sunny florals that just needed to be shared with an imaginative art installation showcasing gallery walls of small to medium work. Youthful memories of the family dens you’d explore for pretty trinkets and treasures and always fresh vases filled from the season’s yield. 🌻
Full Show runs July 1 - July 9 in the Grand Bohemian Lodge Gallery in Downtown Greenville.
