This exhibit features original works by local artist Maria Micheliche. Born in Texas, Maria’s family moved to Maine in 1972. A self-taught artist, at 13 years old she entered a painting in the Acton Fair and has entered artwork every year since, winning many placements including Best in Show.
Acrylic, watercolors, pen and ink, charcoal and pencil are her media of choice. She can create moody landscapes, realistic animals and fantasy scenes that can be very detailed or impressionistic. Her subjects are as diverse as the media she works with. In addition to painting, Maria also makes jewelry, quilts and handbags, just to list a few of her other talents.
Come browse through the collection and meet the artist. This event is free and open to the public. There is ample parking at ASHS headquarters.
