Marilynne Bradley Guest Artist for April 20th Program

 April program is guest artist, Marilynne Bradley from St. Louis. Tuesday evening, April 20th , 7:00pm. PM for a zoom link. Marilynne Bradley has produced numerous series of paintings including the Katy Trail, Santa Fe Trail, Paris, Tahiti, and St. Louis Landmarks. She is always working on a new body of work and experimenting with color. Design and vibrant colors dominate the perception of her compositions. To her, painting requires endless change, experimentation, and variation both in content and technique. Each painting is an effort to explore the subject from a different viewpoint, allowing a personal statement for each work of art. Check out her web site: https://www.marilynnebradley.com/
