New Century Art Gallery asked artist Mike Henry, " Who are some contemporaries or figures in art history who have influenced you?
"I, like many artists, have contemporaries that I follow, and have had an impact on my life and work. Most of these artists I have followed from a distance, and one I have had the good fortune of following up close.
One that I'll mention first is John Lovett. As a brand new watercolor painter I found his book: "Watercolor for the Fun of It - Getting Started." The cover caught my attention, and after quickly perusing the book, I took it home and it became my introduction to watercolor. He is a master at orchestrating soft, loose areas and tight, realistic areas on the picture plane. It would be 15 years after I started painting that I would meet him and attend one of his workshops. This soft-speaking Australian painter has a teacher's heart and showed me that this business of painting can be "fun" and reminded me that there always possibilities beyond what I see on my present painting.
Speaking of possibilities, I am writing this from the home of Stephen Quiller. In the early 2000's, I purchased his book: "The Painter's Guide To Color," because I wanted to learn more about color. A few years later I would take a workshop from him, and he asked me if I would be interested in working as his assistant for his August workshops in Creede, Colorado. That was over 15 years ago, and has given me the privilege of being an eyewitness to over 30 Quiller workshops, plus a lot of one-on-one time with Steve.
The lessons from spending time with a living master are endless. I am now very interested in the subtle nuances of color and how to use them. I have become a "noticer" of those shifts in nature, and choose to push them when I'm in my studio, when necessary. I have always loved using a limited palette, but with my time spent with Steve, and viewing his paintings over the years, I am pushing past the "limits" that I thought I had."

About the artist:
I've been a potter for about 30 years, fulltime as my professional job for 19 years. My work consists of functional and decorative stoneware and porcelain. I have taught classes and workshops in my own studio and outside studios for about 28 years. I was the children's clay instructor and studio co-manager at the St. Clair Art association for 13 of those years. This is not only my profession but also a labor of love, sharing, and community. I hope to bring that positive energy to the space I'm in.

The second Marine City Art Drift saw a crowd of people drifting through local businesses on April 27.
The Marine City Art Drift is a citywide art exhibition showcasing artists and Marine City businesses. The event offers people the opportunity to explore local businesses as they partner with Michigan artists for the day. Attendees had a chance to wander from business to business to discover artists displaying their works for sale and offering live demonstrations.
During the event, attendees received a map to collect stamps from participating artists. Once they gathered all the stamps, they could submit it for a chance to win the Marine City Art Drift gift basket filled with art and products from local businesses.
The first Marine City Art Drift took place in September of 2023.“Last year my business, New Century Art Gallery, received a $5,000 grant through Main Street America and American Express,” New Century Art Gallery gallerist and artist Jeanne Burris-Johnson said. “With Jessica Blakely, owner of MC Marketplace and Rose Gottler, owner of The Painted Toad, we put on our first Marine City Art Drift...
