My husband's sister Celia is an artist.
With no formal training I've always been impressed with her abilities and so proud for her for this recent accomplishment.
250 artists from around the country submitted their art and after being juried 108 were chosen and hers was one of them! There was also a book created called "Art of Sleeping Bear Dunes" . It is published by The Leelanau Press which is dedicated to publishing books about the art and history of the Leelanau County area of northern Michigan.

All of the artists that were included in this book have their work on display at the Dennos Museum, located here in Traverse City, Michigan. We took a walk through the museum over the Christmas holiday with our daughter and I took a few pictures.

It was very interesting to see all the different art work and various techniques and materials each artist uses to create their vision.
