The Marion Art Center (the MAC), located at 80 Pleasant Street in Marion is pleased to announce the opening of the Deborah Quinn-Munson exhibit on Friday, June 8. An opening reception in honor of the artist will be held from 6:00pm to 8:00 pm. In conjunction with the exhibit, members of the Marion Garden Group will interpret select paintings using floral arrangements. The floral arrangements will be on display during the opening and will be part of the exhibitions as long as the arrangements last. Members of the Marion Garden Group have presented “Art In Bloom” at the MAC for many years, and gallery goers are always delighted by the many ways the paintings are interpreted – sometimes dramatic, sometimes humorous, and always worth a second look!
Artist Deborah Quinn-Munson will be exhibiting in both the Cecil Clark Davis Gallery and the Patsy Francis Gallery. Quinn-Munson’s work is focused on serene places and distant horizons executed with bold color and energetic brush strokes. Quinn-Munson earned master level designation in the International Association of Pastel Societies. She is also a member of the Salmagundi Club, the Copley Society of Art, Oil Painters of America and is a signature member of the Pastel Society of America. After attending De Cordova Museum School, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of New Hampshire, a Master of Arts and Liberal Studies at Wesleyan University, and attended Lyme Academy of Art.
