Flower Orphanage: An Exhibit by Michèle Karch-Ackerman

The Agnes Jamieson Gallery is pleased to welcome back artist Michèle Karch-Ackerman with her new exhibit Flower Orphanage.

Michèle’s work is an elegiac symphony of femininity and flowers.   Inspired by memories of her 92-year-old mother Madolin, and her own six  decades of life, this is an exhibition that unabashedly celebrates  motherhood, daughterhood, wifehood, girlhood, womanhood and the threads  that connect humanity to nature.

Michèle is a nationally recognized contemporary artist whose  installations are known for inspiring viewers with their provocative and  touching subject matter. Michèle’s work has been exhibited in over  forty solo exhibitions at public galleries across Canada.  A graduate of  the Ontario College of Art and Design, she is the recipient of numerous  awards from the Ontario Arts Council and Canada Council.  Michèle  previously exhibited at the AJG with her exhibit The Foundling.

Flower Orphanage will be on display June 13 to August 17.  The  opening reception with the artist will take place on June 15 from 1-3  pm.  Refreshments will be served.  All are invited to attend.
