New art exhibit: Michael N. Friend
The current exhibit at the Portage Lake District Library is pixilation paintings by Michael N. Friend. Friend earned his MA in art education from Northern Michigan University. After his 35-year career as an art educator, Friend set up a studio and began to focus on his second career as a producing artist. He developed a painting technique involving slow transitions of color change by the application of dots using acrylic paint on canvas. His artistic influences are Georges Seurat, Vincent van Gogh, Chuck Close, and Walt Disney.
The exhibit, on display through July 31, is a collaboration between the Copper Country Community Arts Council and the Portage Lake District Library. The Library is located at 58 Huron Street in Houghton. For more information about the exhibition contact the Copper Country Community Arts Center at 482-2333.
