Marikay Peter Witlock brings her reverence for nature to
the Arts Club with her "Sacred Spaces" collection. Known for the
meticulous detail in her graphite drawings, Witlock emphasizes light 
and
shadow to create introspective landscapes and striking images of fragile
moments caught in time. The delicacy of her gardens, the haunting stillness
of her winter landscapes, and the ethereal beauty of her figures affirm
her fascination with nature. Witlock says each creation preserves a memory
of a favorite place, "My art is about living, my living as completely
as I can." Her works have been exhibited throughout the United States,
and she is a member of the Illinois Artisans Program. (right: Homeplace,
