Holland artists Carolyn Stich and Alla Dickson invite you to shake the winter blues by joining them at their exhibit, “The Art of Living with Joy,” presented by the Holland Area Arts Council!

Vibrant colors and jovial subjects are evidence that Alla and Carolyn use art to express their happiness throughout the year. During the winter months, Carolyn Stich Studio and Alla Dickson Studio preserve the warmth and welcome of summer by creating art that reflects what they love. With these common goals in mind, they join together to share their joy with West Michigan.

Using her extensive background in education and psychology, Alla brings her happiness to life with bold brush strokes and oil paints on canvas. Vibrant flowers and beautiful landscapes capturing glimpses of Alla’s joy will be on display in the gallery.

Carolyn’s whimsical paintings, done in black ink and gouache, depict the everyday scenes from which she finds happiness. She will exhibit paintings of puppies and trains and everything in between in her usual lighthearted style.

Opening on January 15, 2016 and running through February 27, “The Art of Living with Joy” combines the bright colors and individual styles of these two Holland artists who hope to spread their joy.
