Glen Arbor Art Association’s Talk About Art series features Jesse Hickman
From staff reports
In the Talk About Art series Sarah Bearup-Neal conducts live interviews with local and regional artists about their art making and thinking. These insightful interviews take place monthly at 7:30 p.m., at the Glen Arbor Art Association (GAAA) at no charge.
On Feb. 20 contemporary folk artist Jesse Hickman will be GAAA’s Talk About Art guest. Hickman depicts boats, fish and the water through mixed media, 3-D constructions, tar painting and pencil sketches. The Northport artist brings his wry, whimsical work to life with recycled and unconventional materials.
Talk About Art continues the conversation with these artists:
March 13: Singer-songwriter Blake Elliott makes some of her signature music at the GAAA. This versatile musician is the child of a piano and guitar-playing mother and an Interlochen-trained percussionist father. Elliott, a Traverse City resident, creates music inspired by the natural beauty of her home and “this big adventure called ‘Life.’” Her instrument of choice is the guitar, and she’ll talk about how it’s helping her make her way through a maze of concert dates and the new world of recorded music.
April 10: Photographer Ken Scott’s program has been rescheduled due to a snow storm cancellation in January. Scott’s work is seen weekly in The Leelanau Enterprise “Back Page,” a full-page photograph of an ephemeral moment or place that captures the essence of Leelanau County. Scott’s keen eye and quick response to these fleeting moments distinguishes his work in the medium of landscape photography.
April 24: Scott Craig – writer, documentary filmmaker and, lately, creator of the radio series “The Story Next Door” — will talk about story making, storytelling and the book and stage production that have arisen from his Interlochen Public Radio program. Craig, who lives in Leland, is a genial storyteller focused on neighbors and other interesting people he meets in the region.
Talk About Art interviews are conducted by Sarah Bearup-Neal, studio artist and member of the GAAA Board of Directors.
