About The Show:
In her first solo painting exhibition, Julie Muszynski presents a whimsical and charming summer story of Mackinac Island. Inspired by her archive of vintage postcards, photos, and ephemera, βMementosβ captures memories of a simpler time, lazy summer days, in pure American technicolor grandeur.
Fun Fact:
In 1987, Julie worked at The Grand Hotel as a chambermaid and lived over the horse stables. She lasted only two weeks. The following summer, 1988, she was hired sight unseen from art school in New York City to be the hostess for the Iroquois Hotel, where all the cute girls worked. She lasted the whole summer, had a great time, and has remained friends with the former owner's family, the McIntires.
A Special Thank You To:
The Mackinac Island Public Library and Anne St. Onge, Librarian, Rebecca Barnwell, for suggesting the show, Margaret DeGulis, for her encouragement and generous help, my family and friends, especially my parents, for their consistent support, and Mary K McIntire, whose invaluble friendship and generous gift made this show possible.
In Loving Memory of Margaret McIntire.
Please note: A percentage of the proceeds will be donated to the Library. All sales will be available for pick up, delivery, or shipping at the end of the show run.
