Also, there is a tile coffee table made by Casteel among other etchings, paintings,
and stained glass,” Marshall said. Other works in the show include those by artists April Gornik of New York City, Casey
Ginn of Mississippi, Patti Lane of Tennessee, former MCC students’ works, and others.  “It’s an awesome exhibit,” Marshall said.
