Local Art Seen: Terry Millikan at Lizzard's

Thursday's opening reception for Terry Millikan's much anticipated new show "Surprised by Joy" put a glow on many faces. It was nice to see the waves of friends and fans who came in to congratulate Millikan and take in her new work.

It was good to see gallery owner Jeffrey Schmidt present, as he had been ill the week leading up to this show and rumored to have been in the hospital. He stood tall and looked in good health as the music and generous warmth of the crowd filled both floors of the gallery.

Millikan's new work is quite different from the pieces I've seen at her former gallery in Superior. The work still remains fluid and laden with color. Here are some photos from the event and the work now being exhibited at Lizzard's. The gallery is open six days a week, and Sunday by appointment only.

Meantime, art goes on all around you. Especially at Lizzard's.
