The Sculpture of Steve Palmer

  The sculpture of Steve Palmer will be on exhibition in our Gallery from July 2 – 30. For years Palmer worked in fused glass until he was drawn to the unique form of wired wall sculpture. He says, “The pieces frequently take the shape of fish made from old wooden crutches, boxes, found objects, and wrapped wire.
  Each name creation has unique form. Features, and character.” His first fish included saw blades for the mouth and screwdrivers for the fins. Palmer lives in Commerce Township, MI. His work has been shown in many galleries, including Ann Arbor Art Center, Battle Creek Art Gallery, Crooked Tree Arts Center, Petoskey, and Five-Fifteen, Royal Oak. In April 2011 he placed 3rd in the Michigan Fine Arts Competition and was awarded a $1,000 prize.
  Please join us in the Gallery at reception for this fine artist on Thursday, July 12 from 5 – 6:30 p.m. Palmer will discuss his work with us beginning at 5:30.from 5 – 6:30
