The Mid Michigan Art Guild-founded in 1951-promotes art instruction, provides exhibitions, and creates social events for its members. It provides information about the creation, display, and sale of art and photography. We encourage everyone to express, appreciate and enjoy art.
Cindy Evans is an artist from Williamston, Michigan who specializes in watercolor and mixed media paintings. Her work is exhibited in many local and regional galleries and shows and can be found in private and public collections. “My paintings are my reaction to what I see and experience. I treat each piece differently and try to fit the technique, color choice and design elements to enhance the mood and message. I use watercolor because the washes offer many possibilities for putting paint to paper. I use acrylic, ink and collage because they offer textural qualities, and subtle details. My motivation to paint is that love of how water and color moves on the paper, the challenge to bring what happens to a successful conclusion, bring attention to the beauty in nature and tell a visual story.”
Joel Ellis Art is currently displayed in businesses and private collections throughout Michigan, the Midwest, New York and Washington D.C. Joel trained in a comprehensive program of art and design at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo. Joel taught many years for Michigan schools culminating his career as an educator at the daVinci Institute for high school students in Jackson, Michigan. Joel is honored to receive awards and special selections for his art at various venues. ”The adventure of being in life inspires me: beautiful Michigan scenes, interactions with people, even dreams echoing a day’s experience. My only true expression of these is through making art and wondering – what is going to happen next.”
