Canton resident Michelle Waalkes of Canton will be showcasing her work in an exhibit-titled "Next" which will open Dec. 13 in the Fred F. Silk Community Room. The entire community is invited to the opening night reception from 7-9 p.m.
Her work is a magnificent fusion of mediums and textiles all designed to create beautiful moods that both represent and mimic life.
“I seek to fuse my love of photography, graphics, and fibers into conceptual pieces for the viewer to discover and contemplate,” Waalkes says. “Recurring themes in my predominately fibers/mixed media works include the transience of life in time, as well as the feelings evoked by diverse natural, cultural, and architectural spaces.”
Waalkes, a Malone University graduate, currently serves as curator for the 2nd April Galerie in downtown Canton. Her work was also selected by a panel of jurors to be a part of the Massillon Museum's Stark County Artists Exhibition in 2007.
