Studio B Announces Exhibit Opening for Michelle Neifert and Mimi Conrey

Studio B Fine Art Gallery, 39A East Philadelphia Avenue in Boyertown, PA, announces the opening of “Michelle Neifert and Mimi Conrey,” a two-woman show, featuring the work of two women who paint flowers-- perhaps “so they will not die!” as expressed in a meme by Frida Kahlo that Neifert recently posted on Facebook.

The exhibit opens with a reception Friday, Oct. 28, 2022, from 5:00-7:00 p.m. A virtual tour will be held between 6:00-7:00 p.m. on Facebook LIVE, archived as a Facebook event and on YouTube following the opening. Amy Muzopappa of Muzo Media Productions hosts the art tour. The exhibit will run through Nov. 27, 2022.

Michelle has described her work as an exploration, an inward journey seeking knowledge of our interdependence, our oneness, and our connections on a "feeling" level. She explains that her work is interactive--an emotional conversation between the viewer and the art’s color and form. In her abstract work, the shapes and forms are generally self-created, often resembling landscape or the human form. http://www.zipnstein.com.

Mimi’s work showcases her love of color and presages her future to “loosen up” toward abstract expressions in her work and life in general. Love of her family, God, her dogs, and those whose lives center on family inspire her active life and artistic vision. Her study of Monet at his iconic lake in France inspires her process, and her compassion for the misunderstood Van Gogh informs the intuitive approach she takes to her work.

Both artists will be featured on Jane Stahl’s “B Inspired” podcast in coming weeks. Episodes can be heard on a variety of podcast platforms: Spotify, Google, Apple, Castbox, for example.
