| 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. | |

| Mimi Prussack | ||
 Mimi's Work |
Mimi says, my intention is to use nature as a springboard for the exploration of space. I am concerned with the direction, brightness and angle of the light - how the trees are illuminated and the resulting shadows affect the way the light is transmitted onto the neighboring surfaces. The rhythmic patterns of the shadows and negative spaces become the focus of the work. |
Mimi has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the
College for Creative Studies in Detroit, where she received the Benson
and Edith Ford Scholarship in 1996, 1997 and 1999, the Alumni Scholarship
in 1997 and 1999, and the CCS Scholarship in 1996 and 2001. |
