"Fairies Series" and "Artist Muse" Series – Christine Alfery Exhibit 
February 1 - March 31, 2014
Presque Isle Community Library, Presque Isle, WI

Christine will give a presentation at 2 p.m. at the Presque Isle Library on Monday February 17th on: "An Imaginary Place That Really Exists."  Christine says, "To create art an artist must have courage to search and embrace the mystery that lies deeply within the notions of the real and the imagined. To find the song and dance within a work of art the artist must be the medium in which song and dance are transmitted.  Each time I approach a blank canvas I gather up my courage and embrace that space where she allows herself to dance and sing." She will be talking about the spirit and inspirations within her work, the artists muse.
You can view Christine's artwork during the following hours at the Presque Isle Community Library, MWF 10 to 4, Tues/Thurs 4 to 9 and Saturdays 10 to noon.  For more information call the library at 715 686 7613.  Be sure to tell the library staff that you are there to see Christine's work.
