The Seen Gallery invites you to their New Artist Showcase on Saturday, Sept. 25 from 7 – 10 p.m. They are showcasing work by artists who have joined the gallery over the last year including Susan Proctor, Gail Vogels, Melissa O’Shields and Laurence Bridges-Wood, John Madajewski, Wes Jones and limited edition prints by Michael Whelen.
Below is a bowl made by John Madajewski, who is a Decatur resident and also the Senior Engineer for the City of Decatur. John turns bowls in his spare time and often uses wood that has been cut down in Decatur. This bowl is made from a box elder that used to stand at 532 Westchester Drive, one of the 4 houses in the floodplain that were removed recently using a FEMA grant. The red, according to John, is from a beetle that gets into the wood.
