Studio 23's Painters & Potters exhibit in Bay City shows off artwork created in classes

At least once a week, sisters Cora Hartman and Veryl Yenior travel from their Arenac County homes to take Michelle Courier's painting classes at Studio 23/The Arts Center in Bay City. The class is geared toward beginners to those with some knowledge of painting, and the retired sisters are proving art can spring forth at any point in life. While they have doodled over the years, the sisters began putting brush to canvas in the last three years. It started when Hartman began taking water color classes in Flint. When she signed up for Courier's class at Studio 23, Yenior decided to come. These newbies are part of the exhibit Painters & Potters, featuring 30 of Studio 23's students. The show runs May 4-25 at the downtown gallery.
