Gallery 100 at Silver Maples in Chelsea announces its upcoming art exhibition, Duet in Many Colors, from May 4 to June 23.
The works of Lindsey Dahl and Nancy McKay, with their vivid interpretations of the natural world, will be featured.
Dahl will be present to greet the audience at the public reception from 2-3:30 p.m. on May 19. She will bring some of her beloved silkie chickens, which will add a layer of charm to the event.
Dahl’s acrylic on canvas bursts with color and texture, evoking a sense of wonder. Her expressive brushstrokes bring the animals and landscapes of rural Michigan to life. “Experience with animals, both wild and domestic, has a profound influence on the way I view my subjects,” said Dahl. “The beautiful yet brutal, hilarious, and heartbreaking ways of nature constantly inspire me.”
McKay’s art delves into the stories and possibilities inspired by protected landscapes. With a master’s degree in apparel and textiles from Eastern Michigan University, she is drawn to the luminosity and brilliant color of silk painting to offer a unique perspective on the natural world.
McKay’s experience as an artist-in-residence at national parks—including Grand Canyon, Acadia, Hot Springs, and Badlands—permeates her work with depth and insight, enriching the narrative of the exhibition.
“We are thrilled to host Lindsey Dahl and Nancy McKay’s ‘Duet in Many Colors’ at Gallery 100,” said Winn Nichols, program director. “Their unique perspectives on nature promise to captivate audiences and provide a rich cultural experience for our community.”
Gallery 100 serves as a platform for local and regional artists to showcase their work, enriching the cultural landscape of the community. Open to the public, the gallery invites art enthusiasts to explore and appreciate the diverse forms of artistic expression.
