Paintings and sketches by Mimi Schlichter are on display at the Gallery at FCTV from May 10 through June 28. The public is invited to a reception with the artist on Sunday, May 19, from 3:00 –5:00 pm.
“As I thought about what has happened since the last show, personally, professionally,
and in the world, the title “Since then…” emerged,” explains Schlichter. “The ellipsis
(…) is an intentional nod to the ongoing changes of life, and the creative road yet to
unfold.”
Schlichter’s creative journey started at age 10, though she admits to not studying art
professionally. She says, “It has been a consistent thread through my life as I pursued
other vocations. Finally, now, I am fully embracing the life of a creative individual,
integrating painting, writing, and music in and through my ever increasing commitment
to my Christian faith.”
Schlichter relocated to Cape Cod in 1997 from Pennsylvania. She has owned art galleries,
taught drawing and creativity classes, self-published a variety of books, and served as
Minister of Music at Christ Lutheran Church on Brick Kiln Road in Falmouth for the past
20 years.
While known mostly for her seascapes, a recent trip to the French countryside inspired
her to return to her landscape roots. This show includes two new large pieces painted
since her return mid-April. Her twice weekly blog, published at ArtistsRealLife.com ,
provides an ongoing written and visual narrative of the inspirational renewal she
experienced from the trip.
