From “Keeping an Eye on History” at the OSH 2018 Chandelier Cindy Peterson monoprint, ca. 2005 the story | Something of an anomaly to the site-specific nature of most of the collection, Jim Schmiechen was been unusually enthralled by this most elegant print—but unable to say why, but it was always the first thing in sight each morning, for years hanging near the alarm clock in his bedroom. the art | This print was made in a printmaking class at Ox-Bow, Saugatuck’s famous and longstanding Summer School of Art. It is from an early period in Peterson’s work. Her interest in classical realism, the style she for which she is now most noted, was developed later when she studied with painter Thimgan Hayden. the artist | Cindy Peterson, specializing in realistic still life subjects, paints in her Saugatuck studio. She minored in art history at Michigan State University and has supplemented her art education with classes at Ox-Bow and private tutors. About her art she says, “Above all, I strive for the purest simplicity and then the mystery that becomes revealed within it.” SDHC Collection, gift of Kenneth R. Carls and James A.
