This year’s featured artist is watercolorist Michele Conley Vogel.  We are honored that Michele is sharing limited prints of a new original watercolor painting with our Art Lottery guests, which she created especially for this event!  Michele has been a life-long artist.  After earning a Masters degree in Fine Arts, she opened the Roycroft Art Gallery in East Aurora and ran it for ten years, followed by restoring a historic school and running the West End Gallery there for over three decades.  Michele became a nationally recognized watercolorist, painting birds and botanicals, raising money for conservation and wetlands, and winning numerous awards.  At the present time, Michele is creating and designing product for an international company as well as producing artwork for galleries and commissions from clients.
