What do a former management professional, a gastroenterologist and a police officer have in common? After retiring, each discovered a new creative calling as an artist. Together, these three men will share their journeys into creative life after retirement and the meaningful role art plays in connecting people locally. Whether you are an established art lover or a budding future artist, this class offers an engaging opportunity to explore how creativity can flourish at any stage of life. Mike Maines, Ted Phipps and Andy Wilkinson are bringing their artwork and inspiring stories to share with OLLI. Mike now creates expressive ceramic works. Ted crafts small objects out of repurposed wood. Andy creates beautiful pieces using gouache, pencil and pastels.
