SUMMARY:May Artist of the Month Opening Reception - Mary Lou Wiegand
DESCRIPTION:Crazy Wisdom Art Gallery | May 2026 Artist of the Month – Mary Lou Wiegand \nExhibition Title: Some Wisdom\, Some Fun \nAn artist since early childhood\, Mary Lou Wiegand recalls her first act of creation as a toddler “painting” with her mother’s lipstick on the walls—an early sign of a lifelong instinct for color and form. With constant companions in coloring books and crayons\, and later a formative drawing kit\, she developed an intuitive grasp of anatomy\, foreshortening\, and facial structure. Though encouraged briefly in high school after recognition from an արվեստ program\, she was steered away from pursuing art professionally and spent many years placing it second. Only in the past five to six years has she fully embraced sharing her work\, stepping into exhibitions with both excitement and vulnerability. A member of several art organizations\, including the Brighton Art Guild\, Michigan Watercolor Society\, and Michigan Plein Air Painters\, she continues to refine her practice through weekly study and decades of classes with accomplished artists. \nHer creative process is immersive and meditative—often accompanied by music such as Debussy’s Clair de lune—where she enters a focused\, almost “Zen” state that dissolves time and physical awareness. Working primarily in watercolor and oils\, she is drawn to the luminosity of glazes\, the shifting moods of light\, and the expressive power of color\, proudly identifying herself as a “colorist.” Inspiration comes from both the natural world and human moments: plein air landscapes\, fleeting interactions\, personal memories\, and imagination all find their way into her work. Over a lifetime of creating—now spanning more than seven decades—she has illustrated five children’s books\, painted a large-scale mural\, and exhibited in juried shows such as Tamarack\, “The Best of West Virginia Art.” Her art reflects a deep commitment to beauty\, observation\, and meaning\, with a continuing desire to explore\, express\, and share while time allows.

SUMMARY:Live Music Night - David Hinske & Lee Kitzman
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate evening of original live music featuring award-winning songwriter David Hinske and veteran folk roots artist Lee Kitzman! \nDavid celebrates his eleventh album\, The Off Switch is Broken—just released after home-studio mastery—with soulful power pop/rock/folk originals\, complemented by Lee’s masterful fingerstyle guitar and Detroit-bred arrangements. \nCrazy Wisdom’s performance space offers a cozy\, intimate vibe for this special night. \nThere is no cover charge\, though artist tips and room donations are appreciated. \nDavid Hinske \nDavid Hinske is an award winning songwriter and has been performing live for over fifty years. He has released eleven albums of original music including ’The Off Switch is Broken’\, which will be available at upcoming performances. \nStarting at a tender single digit age\, this music maker learned his craft from beginner’s lessons\, schoolboy choirs\, and start up garage bands. His first professional gig happened when he was 18 and performed with the band ‘Jade’ at a high school dance. \nOver the last fifty plus years he has entertained audiences both as a solo performer and a band member in venues and living rooms across the United States ranging from Sebastopol\, California to Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania and many\, many places in between. In current times\, David’s performances mostly consist of his own material\, but occasionally stray into cover songs that might not sound immediately recognizable until the chorus. \nHaving survived the COVID years by equipping and learning to use a home recording studio\, David has now released eleven albums including two ‘professionally’ recorded\, one in Memphis\, Tennessee and one in Alamosa\, Colorado. One of his albums\, “The Official Record’ was awarded Album of the Year at the Southwest Indie Artist Awards and the song ‘Small Dark Bar’ received Best Rock Song off of that same album. \nDavid is a multi-instrumentalist and loves to spend hours on end in the studio refining and crafting his odd power pop/rock/folk music into quirky and layered three minute exposés. Sometimes straightforward\, sometimes obscure\, his lyrics make an audience ponder how in the heck his brain works. \nLee Kitzman \nLee Kitzman has been performing live since an early age. A product of the Detroit Public school system Music program. Settling into a Folk\, roots Music genre in the early 60’s. A songwriter/ recording artist\, you can find him at\nleekitzman.bandcamp.com. \nLee Kitzman started his musical journey at age 8. Trumpet was the first challenge. By 11 Lee could read Music so guitar became the next adventure. Self taught Lee began to follow early folk artist favoring fingerstyle players. High School found Lee with his own folk group. Performing for church youth groups High school gatherings. After High School\, Lee found himself on Wayne State University in downtown Detroit. There is where he found himself comfortable in the surrounding coffee houses and listening rooms of the area. At 30 time for a career. Fast forward 35 years\, Lee retires from I.B.E.W. Local 17 Detroit. Music becomes the rekindled focus . Songwriting becomes the new direction. You can find Lee at leekitzman.bandcamp.com.

SUMMARY:April Artist of the Month Opening Reception - Sophia Hanifi
DESCRIPTION:Come and enjoy the original and thought-provoking collage art of local artist Sophia Hanifi. Sophia Hanifi is an artist and educator living in Ann Arbor Michigan. She studied art at the University of Michigan where she received her BA in Fine Arts. \nArtist Statement: \nMy art making with collage reflects my love of surrealism. In my work I use paper doll elements combined with vintage and new papers\, colored pencil and other drawing materials. I enjoy the process collage entails; choosing materials by texture\, color and image and finding combinations that achieve resonance. Many of these pieces explore the theme of feminine agency. By using the juxtaposition of time period\, social status and race I hope to create images that challenge traditional female stereotypes. \nFree drinks and light refreshments \nFor more info on Sophia Hanifi’s check out her website at: \nSophia Hanifi Art

SUMMARY:Symbol-to-Scene: Writing with Tarot
DESCRIPTION:An intimate writing workshop for anyone who wants to explore their inner landscape through tarot’s symbols and archetypes. Each attendee will draw a card and receive a short\, accessible reading-then we’ll take a moment to reflect before writing from what it stirs up: recurring motifs\, unnamed feelings\, private questions\, or the story that’s always been in you. \nAll forms of writing are welcome-poetry\, character sketches\, drabbles\, fresh drafts\, messy beginnings. Sharing is always optional\, and the space is held gently and creatively. \nIn the second half of the session\, we’ll pull a card for the group and shift into a collaborative writing sprint that moves from the internal to the external-shifting that final symbol into a scene to end on. \nThis workshop will be a quiet\, largely contemplative event\, capped at around 10 people.  \nTaught by Daphne Fama \nTickets are $15 and can be purchased at Eventbrite. See link below. \nDaphne Fama is an Ann Arbor native and the author of House of Monstrous Women (Berkley\, Penguin Random House). Her facilitation style is cozy-but-productive: good questions\, zero pressure\, and full permission to write something a little weird. \nYou can find her on Instagram @daphnefamawrites

SUMMARY:March Artist Closing Reception - T.S. Lamb
DESCRIPTION:Artist Statement:\nIn a world where so much is happening all the time and we spend so much energy “adulting” a little whimsy is much needed.\nSo often we create magic and whimsy for children\, but as we grow it’s easy to lose that magic. We’re told there’s no space for it\, that it’s too childish. My art is here to put some of that enchantment back into the world.  Here you might see a dinosaur having tea\, or a frog on a bike waiting for you to join them.\nSo welcome to my world of whimsy and wonder\, I hope you take some whimsy and a smile with you when you go.\n\n\nArtist Bio:\nT.S. Lamb lives in Pontiac with her cats\, kids and hubby. She grew up in a town of trolls\, went to the college of EMU and spent time in the land of fairies. Most recently she’s taken up set painting for local theaters and illustrating children’s books. Otherwise\, you will find her kayaking\, biking or snowshoeing.  After all\, inspiration is everywhere.\nCome and meet the artist and enjoy light snacks and refreshments while touring her flights of fancy!
