I started drawing around ten years old. In my 20’s, I applied to and was accepted into the Art program at the Center for Creative Studies. I didn’t finish. However, I continued taking classes in many disciplines, i.e. ceramics, photography, and fine woodworking..... I retired in 2013 and began taking art classes and creating fabric collages. I was inspired to show my work about six years ago. My creativity extends to writing, theater, and fine woodworking. I opened The Bridge Art Gallery in 2019. The mission of The Bridge Gallery is to provide a venue for local artists, especially mature artists and young people. We invite customers and guests into our beautiful art gallery, where we... - Provide a high-quality source of visual art. - Create an exciting venue where artists can exhibit and sell their art. - Provide high-quality classes and workshops for adults and children that are designed to inspire while providing fun and educational art experiences for all ages and abilities. The gallery is available for rental. It is suitable for small scale receptions, performances (poetry reading and storytelling), parties, yoga classes, and meetings. It is equipped with a full kitchen, and restroom. For more information, please call Pat Tucker at 313 259-7908 or email: pabtucker2748@gmail.com
