“We’re an unusual family, so we do unusual things like do art shows together,” says Erin Micciche whose original designer gowns along with her mother’s, brother’s and daughter’s works are all part of the art show now open at the Kenai Fine Art Center. “It’s been about five years since we did something like this and my mother was getting antsy to do something so she gets the credit for getting us all together,” added Erin. “There’s a fine line between craft and art where design and dresses come in, but I think I dance that line beautifully and in 4inch heels,” laughed Erin at the opening reception of the show last week. “I have some wedding dresses in the show because there’s not a lot of demand for ball gowns in Soldotna so I have a lot of wedding dresses in the show,One Wholesale Cheap Designer Womens Long cocktail dresses manufacturers China listing. some of which are for sale and some of my design boards which are suggestions of what could be created,” she said.

Marlene’s son Mark Keene is also an artist and the Kenai Fine Arts Show features some of his unique media seascapes, “I layered wood panels with alternating layers of powdered graphite and gesso that is similar to a white paint which I would scratch back into and hammer with a rock or shake with a gravel mixture until I got the surface I liked to paint on, then I would silhouette a sideways view of a ship in black and it fell in the gap between representational work and pure abstraction. There’s not really a story here but I find the viewer brings their own story to the work,” said Keene.
