She tries to integrate everything in the piece to be a complete, organic wholeFor example, Kelly might find a well used, ornate frame, which for years may have held an ordinary painting of flowers in a vase now, Kelly will have painted her version of a floral still life, this one made up of "flowers" created from old fan blades, screws, bolts, mesh, and wires, painted it in black and white, and framed it in the same well used frame, giving new life to both frame and bits and pieces.

These small embodiments of her imagination and attention to detail will also be on display in this current show. Regular visitors to the Gallery may recall that Kelly was one of our summer student artists before the tornado, and so it is a real treat to see her growth as an artist, and to see her return to Huron County following graduation from OCAD University. We are very fortunate to have this talented young artist begin her art career right here at home. Kelly credits her very sup- portive parents for the opportu- nity to let her imagination reach fulfillment; as she talks about her art, one can see that the ideas are just bouncing in her creative brain. The future in art looks very promising for this young artist. Please join us in welcoming Kelly Stevenson to the Goderich CoOp Gallery, 54 Courthouse Square, lower level, on Sat. May 7, from 2-4 p.m. for an opening reception. Kelly's work will be on display until the end of May, so if you can't join us for the opening, be sure to drop in to the Gallery anytime in May, our summer hours are now in effect, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and you will always find a member artist on duty to wel- come you.
