December Gallery Stroll: Marcee Blackerby

Ken Sanders Rare Books is pleased to announce a gallery stroll exhibition with Mixed Media Artist Marcee Blackerby on Friday, December 6th at 7:00 pm at our downtown bookstore (268 South 200 East, SLC, UT). Our gallery will be full of Marcee’s one-of-a-kind mixed media artworks. Various musical guests will be accompanying this gallery stroll, including Duncan Phillips as well as Marcee’s husband, Ric Blackerby. This event is free and open to the public.

Marcee Blackerby is an accomplished mixed media artist; she works from a home studio in Salt Lake City, UT, where she resides with her husband, Sculptor/Artist Ric Blackerby. She has a Bachelor’s degree from the U of U. Blackerby’s work utilizes a wide variety of found materials, seen in her intricate and detailed boxes as well as her larger works. ““My boxes are stories with windows, and like Pandora’s, their secrets beg to be opened. I feel that through my use of objects I can evoke a response from the viewer. I’m constantly looking for ways to examine the trappings of our lives, and select objects with memory or spark. I strive to bring about a visual connection and use icons that encourage dialogues of concepts of valued traditions.”
