Happy New Year! And just like that it’s the last week of January. This new year is flying by. The winter weather has been perfectly snowy, albeit a bit frigid, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love Michigan. This past fall Dave and I took my parents on a golf trip to Arcadia Bluffs to celebrate my Dads 80th birthday. It was a golf experience of a lifetime. We took a chance with the weather going in October and it didn’t disappoint, sunny and brisk the day we golfed. The bluff views of Lake Michigan were nothing short of spectacular. Around every turn of the course were majestic fairway and green views. All that beauty easily sparked inspiration for my first studio collection “Coastlines”. Currently scheduled to launch the last week of February 2025. It’s a collection of the Lake Michigan coastline in Northern Michigan inspired by our many trips there this past year.
Shelly Jack Studio has a cool new space in the heart of downtown Metamora! It’s a working studio with plans to have a gallery and retail open house once a month. We are located in The Village of Metamora at 15 Barrows Street and will post the open house dates and hours on our social media accounts. Currently in the works are plans for small group painting classes to be held at the studio in the Spring. Along with the in person classes, there will be special online course offerings as well. The making of bags hasn’t been forgotten and a few of them are available here at shellyjackstudio.com.
With that, Hoping you are staying well and enjoying the beautiful gift of today. And that you will come visit us at the new studio! Will you come? Looking forward to all the new adventures this year has for us. Thank you again for subscribing to this email newsletter and for all of your continued support throughout the years.
Xoxo,
Shelly Jack
