First Friday Art Walk – February 2018

Discover Art Downtown at NexLynx Gallery of Arts, Friday February 2nd from 5pm to 8pm, to view the mixed media paintings by Marie Plinsky during our First Friday Art Walk.

Marie Plinsky got a late start in the art world, but developed her artistic talents from more than 30 years’ experience as a hairdresser. She finds color theory is the same, only the canvas changes.

Starting her art career in watercolor with Johanna Hanks, Marie has enjoyed using other medias; charcoal, oil, acrylic and decorating gourds. Her newest art work of mixed media uses acrylics, paper and fabric creating interesting textures.

Marie is a member of the Lawrence Art Guild and the Topeka Art Guild for more than 15 years, serving as Reception Chairman, President and Vice President as well as helping on the Hanging Committee. She has shown several years at the Aaron Douglas Art Fair and won an honorable mention award during the “Kansans Paint Kansas” show.
