| Mary Brodbeck | ||
| This Lake Superior artist now living and instructing in Kalamazoo at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts has a BFA in Industrial Design and Mathematics and an MFA in Printmaking. In 1998, Mary was the recipient of the BUNKA-CHO Fellowship, a five-month program designed to study traditional Japanese woodblock printing in Tokyo. She draws her inspiration from "the deep, clear and varied colors of" Lake Superior's water which she interprets with optimism and beauty. | The speciality of Mary's degrees: Printmaking, Industrial Design, and Mathematics combined with her knowledge of the Japanese printmaking style creates a unique approach to art. Acclaims such as the Isle Royale National Park Artist-In-Residence service, grants and scholarships from Western Michigan University, and First Prize in 2005 from The American Color Print society (Cheltenham, PA) constitute this spirited artist's repertoire. | |

Her art work has appeared in the Midwest Pastel Society National Exhibition in Chicago and her paintings were also publised in the book The Best of Pastel Painting. | Connie works from sketches, photographs and life. You could find her driving the Michigan countryside using her attuned eye for content by exploring vantage points, plays on light and the sights and smells you might ordinarily pass by. Her awareness helps create works of pastel which inherently energize the viewer and the space her work inhabits. |
