PORT CLINTON – The Greater Port Clinton Area Arts Council (GPCAAC) is delighted to showcase the talents of three amazing artists – Nancy Pierce, Janet Wells and Marsha Skinner – in a Three Woman Show on display at The Arts Garage during the month of September.

Nancy Pierce, who has studio space at The Arts Garage, is a lifelong artist who started with pencils, crayons and paint, and who has progressed through art education and real world experience in graphic design and illustration to where she is today, after retirement, with the passion continuing through her use of watercolors, painting with dyes on silk fabric, and other experimental materials and methods.

Janet Wells enjoyed a 30-year career as an art educator after earning degrees from Bowling Green and Kent State and has studied under pastel artists in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Asheville, North Carolina. She has won several awards in plein air painting competitions and her artwork is featured in collections across the country.

Marsha Skinner is a local artist who grew up on the shores of Lake Erie. She studied art under a professional artist for several years beginning at age 11 and quickly developed an intense love for oil painting. Her work is largely inspired by local landmarks, wildlife and scenery found along the stunning Lake Erie coastline and has been shown at numerous events and received several awards.
