Carrie Garner’s Galleria d’Arte is proud to present “The Art of Spiritual Devotion” featuring guest artist Kimm Lanus. The exhibit premiers on Saturday, February 11, 2006, 7pm-10pm.

Ms. Lanus creates her masterpieces in the perspective of many different religions and nationalities as to promote a sense of world unity. “I paint with the intention of sharing that which moves thru me rather than that which is created by me” says the artist.

Ms. Lanus’ paintings are crafted on tin and wood in the old retablos and Italian style of painting. All pieces are sealed for longevity, and each piece is framed in the time-honored gothic European tradition. Ms. Lanus’ collectors include ABC anchorman, Sam Donaldson and President George W. Bush.

The gallery also has a wide offering of pottery and jewelry crafted by local artisans.

Carrie Garner’s Galleria d’ Arte is located in downtown McKinney on the square at 100 E. Louisiana Street. In conjunction with this event, several other galleries and downtown businesses will also host shows and celebrate the arts on Saturday evening.
