MAC Members Show20 views The Marion Art Center’s Winter Members Show is now open. There you will find 90 works of art including Deborah Beth Macy's painting Opening, a prime example of the richly detailed and heavily textured works she creates. Opening invites the viewer to create a storyline for the image. Is she happy or sad or merely contemplative? And the clothing speaks to lush fabrics and wealth.
