The Artists’ Gallery in the Emerson Cultural Center will feature the work of Peggy Kohler and Matt Piedalue during the month of July.  The show will include a Featured Artist Reception where you can meet the artists and share a glass of wine.
 
MACK's art reflects her Alaskan upbringing, love of the West, Mountains and Water. All of her art is bright and whimsical, seeking the positive and often a good laugh.  Most of her work focuses on characters who are multi-ethnic to represent the world family we all belong to and are loosely based on Yup'ic Eskimo masks from her childhood, as well as ethnic influences from around the world and the American West/Northwest. MACK is always looking to pay tribute to the under-represented, putting their attributes on full and joyful display!
 
Matt Piedalue is a potter who makes art because he doesn’t know how not to. He enjoys offering his own handmade, meaningful alternative to mass-produced foreign ceramics.  Piedalue’s aesthetic has been heavily influenced by historical pottery, nature, science fiction and comic books. He uses sculptural methods to twist many of his pots into fantastically organic, plant or creature-like objects. Piedalue feels a child-like fascination in the ability to manipulate clay and create physical things that he has never seen before.
 
Come see the artwork and meet its makers at the Featured Artist Reception in The Artists’ Gallery, Friday, July 10th from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
