Featured Artist | Lauri Minas

Fine artist Lauri Wedgworth grew up in a small farm town west of Phoenix, Arizona. Surrounded by farmers, dust, and excessive heat, she developed her creative side to keep herself entertained—and to survive. She holds a B.F.A. in graphic design and a M.B.A from Arizona State University. While she learned the basic concepts of art and design in school, over the years she has taught herself drawing, perspective, oil painting and airbrush techniques. Famous artists that have influenced her art include: Edward Hopper, Patrick Nagel, Norman Rockwell, Wayne Thiebaud, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec and Vincent Van Gogh.

Thompson attended the prestigious High School of Art & Design and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York. She is a nationally-recognized, award-winning artist.

Featured Artist | Michelle Mercier

Bio: Michelle Mercier is an abstract painter living in western Massachusetts. Focused primarily on large-scale commissions for collectors, Michelle has also taught adult painting classes and participated in Open Studios at the Mill in Holliston, Massachusetts since 2014.
