"Faces" exhibit to benefit "Operation Smile"

Akron, OH: Akron artist/photographer Cari Miller will be showing “Faces”, a collection of 14 of her original acrylic paintings and giclee reproductions at the Stow/Munroe Falls Public Library Corner Art Gallery, 3512 Darrow Road, from May 1-20.

In this exhibit, Miller uses her colorful and unique style to show the faces of people, pets and even suns. “Some are sweet, some are funny – and all tell a story,” Miller says.

In conjunction with the theme of “faces”, Miller will be donating $2 from each sale to “Operation Smile,” an organization which treats children who have been born with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.

 “It seemed natural to tie in a display of faces with an organization which changes the faces – and the futures – of children around the world,” Miller explains.

Miller has been working for the last 20 years in different facets of the arts in Northeast Ohio. For more information on her work or her 2009 exhibit schedule, visit www.sunthingspecial.com.
