I am sad to learn of the passing of former member Melodie Dowell, of Logansport.
Melodie's beautiful, diversely themed paintings were a great addition to the Wabash Art Guild art shows.
Melodie was a dedicated environmentalist. She enjoyed the outdoors and helped to preserve the nature habitats along the river.
This led her to create beautiful photography. I enjoy her vision of her surroundings and the friends she happened upon.
In Melodie's honor, I share some of her creations as posted on her page. Sincere Sympathies🙏🏻

Join the Grant County Art Association on Saturday, May 9th from 1 - 3 PM at the Kennedy Art Center, 326 S Washington Street, Marion, IN 46952 in downtown Marion for the opening of our next show, "The Beauty of U.S.!"
Bring a friend and enjoy local art from many excellent artists, right here in Grant County, Indiana! May 9 - July 29, Tuesday-Friday, 10 AM - 5 PM.
This collection reflects what the GCAA artists love about the United States of America. They captured the awe of natural landscapes, the architectural achievements of manmade structures, and illuminated elements of everyday life. We invite you to come and reflect on the unique beauty you find in the place we call home- and perhaps to bring some of it home with you! Many of the works in this show will be for sale, and any purchase will go towards supporting local artists.
Artists will be present at the event and refreshments will be provided.
