Michaelmas Parish Art Exhibit
We are celebrating the “season of Michaelmas” (the time between St. Michael Day on September 29 and the beginning of Advent) with a Parish Art Exhibit featuring works by some of our talented parishioners.  Many of the pieces are for sale directly from the artist.   Some of the featured artists make art as a profession, while for some it is simply a creative outlet and a spiritual discipline.  Through the making and enjoying of art we all participate in the creativity of those created in the image and likeness of God, whose very nature is to create and generate life. 
 
The Exhibit is displayed in the Lower Narthex Gallery (in the hallway just outside the Parish Hall on the lower level of the Church) and will run through November 21.
 
Featured artists:

Betty Nwabuonwa
Betty is a self-taught artist and says, “I don’t call myself an artist, because I haven’t learned the trade.  I am someone who tinkers with art. Tinkering with art takes me to my happy place, a world of my own, where good always prevails.” Betty’s art is vibrant and colorful and reflects a rich heritage.
 
Missie Quirk
Missie is a native of Kansas City and is an abstract artist.  She frequently receives commissions for new art, and can be found on Facebook as "Missie Kay Quirk."  
 
Judy Ulitchny
Pray Constantly! (1 Thes 5:18) Judy says she has come close to that but all her art begins as part of a prayer journal. Pray, journal, draw! Being a member of Saint Michael since its inception has been a great blessing and has led her to a deepening of her faith and is the source of her joy in art.
