A Potpourri of Art by Micky Welles Friday, May 2nd-Saturday, June 28th, 2025

Step into a world of vibrant creativity with A Potpourri of Art by Micky Welles, a captivating exhibition showcasing the diverse talents of artist Michelle "Micky" Welles. This collection brings together a rich variety of works, reflecting her deep appreciation for representational art and mastery of multiple mediums, including oil, pen and ink, acrylic, pastel, photography, and watercolor. A largely self-taught artist, Micky credits her early training to Sr. Elaine of East Catholic High School and Sr. Claire Pelletier of Annhurst College. After beginning her artistic career as a technical illustrator, she temporarily shifted away from art to work in banking and municipal administration. However, her passion for painting reignited in 2010, leading her to refine her oil painting skills through a dedicated correspondence course. Micky’s work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including prestigious venues such as gallery128 in Manhattan, The Lyme Art Association, The Slater Museum, and various regional arts organizations. Her art captures the beauty of the world around her, bringing a thoughtful and expressive touch to each piece. Join us in celebrating the artistry of Micky Welles, whose work is a true potpourri—an eclectic and stunning mix of mediums, techniques, and inspirations.
