Artist reception Friday in Minerva
Anne Richeson Scanlon is the featured artist for December at Market Street Art Spot in Minerva.
Originally from Clinton, Iowa, Scanlon formerly lived in Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan before moving to Massillon.
Scanlon's art reception is 5 to 9 p.m. Friday at Market Street Art Spot, 219 N Market St. Normal gallery hours are 1 to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Music will be performed by the Raines Sisters.
Scanlon is a third generation artist whose mother was a potter and art teacher while her grandmother was a printmaker. She now creates pieces in different artistic mediums. Scanlon received a degree in art and design from the University of Iowa.
“The principles of black and white photography are the foundation of any of my projects and color is the emotion," Scanlon said in a news release from the Art Spot. "The layering of sheer over opaque glass for a jewelry pendant can impact the colors I use to blend in a pastel painting. Then, a pastel painting may influence the colors and textures I use in a necklace."
Scanlon said she's influenced by the Midwest "to capture the slower pace of life along with beautiful scenery such as the long views of the farm fields and the wide open skies."
