Douglas Michalski, a One-Man Show
Downstairs Gallery
March 8 through April 6, 2008

Doug Milchalski, a life long resident of Lockport, has recently retired after thirty two years of teaching art (and coaching basketball) in Lockport, Newfane and Attica. In his early teens he was influenced by his art teacher, Joe Whalen and decided to make art a career. He received a Bachelor's degree in Art Education from Rosary Hill College (now known as Daeman College). He currently maintains a studio (#5) at the Market Street Art Center.

Doug's work has been exhibited throughout Western New York. He has experimented in many types of media but mostly enjoys working in watercolor. In addition to painting Doug enjoys travel (places he has visited are a frequent subject of his paintings) but, he says, he mostly enjoys being a husband to his wife, Kathy, and a father to his children, Sarah, Roger, and Shannan.

Reception was Sunday, March 9 from 2:00 to 4:00pm.
