Mary Gehm Demonstrates the Delicate Art of Floral Collage at the September Door County Art League Meeting
By Door County Art League
Sep 21, 2011 - 8:55:00 AM
Mary Gehm will demonstrate how she creates artistic arrangements from petals, twigs and leaves for her unique note cards and collage art at the Door County Art League's September 26th meeting, 7:00 p.m., at the Gibraltar Fire Station on County F. All who attend will have the opportunity to create their own floral composition with natural materials provided by Mary.
Master Gardener Mary Gehm paints with plants. She collects blooms, petals, leaves, seeds, twigs; then presses and/or dries them to create a collage library from which she builds greeting cards, wedding remembrances and framed collage art.
In creating her collage art, Mary uses natural materials and special papers suitable for her paintings. Sometimes the materials dictate the outcome; at other times, Mary relies on her intimate knowledge of color, shape, translucency and other characteristics of the materials to give her an idea for a design.
She has been a featured artist at Charlene’s Gallery Ten and also shared her talents with others at Door County Master Gardener events. Her cards are available at the Miller Art Museum and Door County Botanicals.
The Door County Art League (DCAL) welcomes everyone interested in the arts, in making new friends, in associating with artists and supporting them, becoming inspired, gaining knowledge and trying their hands at new pursuits. Membership in DCAL is available to all persons interested in promoting and enjoying the creative arts in Door County.
