Amy Aspell: “Art Is to Be Seen”

In Memoriam

Earlier this year, local artist Amy Aspell reached out to the Gallery at Grace to propose a retrospective, which would have been her first show in decades. Sadly, she passed away in April before the show could come to light. However, her artist friends, Peggi Erickson, Deborah Milton, and Mary Ann Proctor, have rallied and pulled together Amy’s art to tell the story of a life well lived. Through painting, prints, collage, sculpture, and tapestries, her creativity, exuberant personality, intelligence, and sense of humor are evident.

Join us for a reception for Amy and her art immediately following the 9:30 service this Sunday, July 12.

We will also celebrate her life and work with a wine & cheese open house at Grace on Friday, August 14, from 5:00-7:00 pm.  All are welcome.
