The Marion Art Center announces its newest exhibit, The Macy Women, featuring paintings by sisters Beth Macy, Deborah Macy and Margaret Macy. Show dates are September 30-November 3, with an artists’ reception scheduled Saturday, September 30 from 3:00-5:00 pm.
Separate Lives; One Epiphany of Color – Three sisters born of artistic heritage unite their art to tell their individual stories. Discover expressive, illuminating palettes of color with styles unique to each artist.
The artist trait is a thread that unites the women in the Macy family. Three Macy sisters, Deborah, Beth Heather, and Margaret, have each exhibited professionally for decades, but showing together has more meaning to them. They have dubbed it “a celebration of our spirits and gifts with a unique family ribbon on top.”
Beth Heather rejoices in nature and depicts the world around her with bold, impressionistic brush and palette knife work, often capturing the beauty of the marshes and shorelines around her Massachusetts North Shore home. Deborah Beth of New Bedford shows her love of the antique and romantic spirit as she spins tales through her superb figurative work. Margaret Rose of Maine uses gem-like color in her florals and landscapes. She started painting as a child, documenting the rural landscape around her home in Westport.
