East Lansing Artist Displays Watercolors in Gallery
East Lansing artist Margaret Meade-Turnbull provides a 30-year
retrospective of her life figure watercolor paintings in an exhibit at
Alma College’s Clack Art Center.
The exhibit runs from Jan. 5 through Feb. 5 in the Flora Kirsch Beck
Gallery. Admission is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are 9
a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays.
“I describe my watercolors as realistic renderings of the [human]
figure in its space with an emphasis on how the light fuses the figure
and space into one,” says Meade-Turnbull.

The
show features 39 of her works from 1977 to the present, giving a sense
of how her artwork has developed over time from her early etchings.

Lansing Community College since 1981, has received numerous awards and
critical acclaim for her work. She has exhibited throughout Michigan
and nationally in Indiana, North Dakota, New Jersey and Alabama.
