Michael Guinane captures the emotion of a single moment in time through atmospheric paintings that invite viewers to feel the mood of a particular place and setting.Working with multilayered techniques, he explores how we’re suspended between past and future, creating scenes that spark the imagination—from rain-slicked city streets glowing with neon reflections to quiet winter nights in the park, each work offers a glimpse into moments that feel both timeless and deeply personal.Originally from Milwaukee and a graduate of Columbus College of Art and Design, Michael has spent over two decades building a distinguished career in Columbus.Now, he’s returned to his roots, bringing his home and studio back to Milwaukee—and he’s bringing five new paintings to share at this special homecoming event!Please join us in welcoming Michael back to Milwaukee! Come celebrate this homecoming, view Michael’s evocative work, including five new pieces, and hear about his artistic journey. We look forward to seeing you there!<a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://u2842388.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=u001.-2F-2BkPVqKsTo0j1QJY5u89KWrx3tBoXbWiASZcEdvQptCmzeaTPG4St7gZjNugm3OOvJzq2RlLRbfLcrw5QHhExYtFHQBubEBjWJDJSCJ4zW7kURBnUWNdmYQvQEKY20fEnZx0SjUuxmHZfBRhGPUuRQ0wxxo9W1i8wo8H-2FRHELNsqdqIR9slSIMXSEDwCGuWgyCOpg9Lh3yfJpkLVlNyBL9Uyd-2BOWTmbPCwsPIZ2BbeUAuuxFyFmo3nwGDvZDjC-2Fe8mMjgFgZBrcmj5uK9vkhl-2BdvF7j-2Bm08yjVwymFzRwEw-3DMLRp_F-2B18IOO1ZU6iY4K-2F9Q9GBGu5rvP-2BL20ZUrVQMSgnAy2dkeZXZkSsnZVlr-2Bsr2mNTTgqhfHFw6ec9DcqnAhQ4lJCUC6w3kubTWZvXX6rLxdBbMovgoCctXx8c0anecj48Mpcw9UVEJFCuBlTWMZSDQuzJ6MbXuHgLfOK7j-2FZec2hSZabkjqPeDiH-2B31FizrOyez-2FI1qsZZ4uOiM3WFuhKdAppJnttjzhxSSTg-2FBU5-2B7dl6NGQVegr-2FKnaXaS1E1jGBy-2FKPv-2BwIwqcniPU3Gil4C6SAO1lUGv5k0HweAHMeVf36kV4qhMrjbQNXIXyOmLJ" target="_blank">Please RSVP Here</a> Image: Intermission at the Riverside Theater, Watercolor and Acrylic on panel, 12 x 18, Framed

Throughout history, the human form has been symbolized as a container of life, emotion, and spirit, reflecting both fragility and resilience. How does the body hold and convey our stories, memories, or cultural history? Artists were encouraged to celebrate the interplay of form and storytelling in clay.&nbsp;Juror &amp; Curator:&nbsp;Nancy Pirri is an artist from Chicago, working primarily in ceramics and creating figures of all sizes. Pirri has won awards from the Beverly Arts Center and the Rockford Art Museum, including work published in ‘500 Figures in Clay’ V2. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, including SOFA in Chicago representing women's rights anniversaries, and has acquired collectors from all over the world.&nbsp;She has exhibited with numerous galleries in the Midwest and is currently represented by Oliva Gallery, J. Petter Galleries (MI), Design at 329/Primitive/The Stalls, and Inner Haven Gallery.&nbsp; ARTISTS EXHIBITING:Nikki Renee AndersonMonica BalcLynn BasaAaron BeckerSharon BladholmDebbie BurkLisa FarrisAutumn HorwathLynda Lawson KarrJayne KingDawn LiddicoattLinda MarcusJohannah Tomita MartinAmber MatthewsSuzanne MauroCarole McCurdyBobbi MeierArny NadlerAndryea NatkinAlexis Lee Ortiz-DuarteRoberta Ulrich-de OliveiraSusan VolkChristopher WilliamsRunhi XuThomas Zamiar Image: Arny Nadler (associate professor of Art Sam Fox School of Art and Design at Washington University St Louis Mo )&nbsp;&nbsp;
