Artist Reception: Songs of Birds

Featured artist is Carol Hanna. Carol creates sonograms of bird songs, which she then airbrushes using the color palette of the corresponding bird. The result is a beautiful translation of sonic beauty to visual beauty. Each of Carol's pieces is accompanied by a photograph of the bird it represents and a recording of its song. Take a look at the postcard attachment for a sample of her work.

Also featured will be selections from the Eastern Michigan University Art Department's Annual Graduate Student Art Exhibition. Pretty interesting!

We invite you to meet Carol and one of the EMU artists at an artist reception Thursday, April 14, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.

This exhibit is the third in a series running in conjunction with the four-concert Music Under the Arch series. The April 21 concert  will feature guitar virtuoso Sean Blackman and award-winning jazz guitarist Wayne Gerard performing original works influence by Armenian folk music, African music, Brazilian jazz and flamenco. Opening act is local avant-jazz composer and multi-instrumentalist Ken Kozora. Tickets and more information are available online at MusicUnderTheArch.com.
