"As an artist of the moment, I thrive on daily interaction with the work, acting on ideas as they occur. Repeating the action again and again is the through line of the work. The memory and mark of my hand are integral to each piece as I assemble the accumulated elements.""In each artwork, gestural marks, and evidence of the movement of my hands can be seen. The media I use is whatever it takes to express the idea: from 2D materials such as watercolor, charcoal, and oil paint, to sculptural materials such as clay, wood, metals, and fiber; to found objects, some man-made, but mostly nature bits⌠and then there is the ephemeral wind, sunlight, and snow⌠Time, repetition, structure, beauty and impermanence are some of the themes in play."âMichele Silvetti-SchmittMore about the artistMichele Silvetti-Schmitt was raised in River Forest by parents who emigrated from Canada and Argentina. Making art has always given her roots and a sense of belonging. In her 20s she became a professional architect and dedicated herself to that career. Along the way she spent a decade in Germany practicing architecture and establishing her family before returning to the U.S. Making architecture requires the efforts of an extensive, multi-disciplinary team, and ultimately the idea is far removed from the expression. For Michele, making art is invigorating; the ideas move straight from her mind and heart through her hands and the energy is tangible.Working across mediums including two-dimensional painting and drawing and three-dimensional ceramics and installation, her work is the regular practice of acting on an idea. Each body of work is evidence of continued, consistent action. In every new artwork she is honing her voice for simplicity, retaining the energy and presence of the work.Collected Moments will be on view from September 22 through October 24 in the Main Library Gallery.Related Events:- Art Exhibit Reception: September 24, 6:30â8 pm, Main Library Gallery

Each week, a small group of eight community members will gather around a short reading, pick up our pens, and write for ten uninterrupted minutes. Prompts will be provided, but their use is not required. With Bobby Hulme-Lippert facilitating, group members will share their writing, listen to each other, and do it again. It's in the act of writing and sharing that the best discoveries arrive. There are no workshop critiques, no homework, and no experience required - only curiosity and the willingness to show up. -- Bobby Hulme-Lippert is a writer, leadership coach, and the author of Small Stories about Big Things, a collection of forty-five short pieces drawn from the everyday moments that can be easy to miss. An award-winning storyteller and member of Oak Park Toastmasters, Bobby has spent years workshopping stories â and learned, again and again, that the page comes most alive when we stop trying to get it right and simply start writing. With others. He lives in Oak Park with his wife and two young boys.

Each week, a small group of eight community members will gather around a short reading, pick up our pens, and write for ten uninterrupted minutes. Prompts will be provided, but their use is not required. With Bobby Hulme-Lippert facilitating, group members will share their writing, listen to each other, and do it again. It's in the act of writing and sharing that the best discoveries arrive. There are no workshop critiques, no homework, and no experience required - only curiosity and the willingness to show up. -- Bobby Hulme-Lippert is a writer, leadership coach, and the author of Small Stories about Big Things, a collection of forty-five short pieces drawn from the everyday moments that can be easy to miss. An award-winning storyteller and member of Oak Park Toastmasters, Bobby has spent years workshopping stories â and learned, again and again, that the page comes most alive when we stop trying to get it right and simply start writing. With others. He lives in Oak Park with his wife and two young boys.
