2017
This past year has been extremely interesting. Once again LOCAL's Gallery is happy to announce we are experiencing a growth spurt.
First, we must say our farewell to Sayre. He decided earlier in the year to move to San Diego for college and we wish him the very best! Also a heartfelt "thank you" for all the greatness he brought to LOCAL's.
Our family is growing by leaps and bounds:
Today we start advertising worldwide and will also be shipping worldwide.
LOCAL's Gallery has decided to expand into Las Vegas, Nevada with the help of two brothers: Chris and Sean with whom I have worked with both personally and professionally over the last decade. They are well acquainted with the Las Vegas area, based on their connections; their sister, Aubrey, is a performing artist who has danced across the world. With their determination and dedication we look forward to collaborating on events that will artistically benefit both communities.
We are pleased to announce that LOCAL's Gallery will now be offering photo printing. Chris Aguirre has joined our working family as our printer. Over the years he has been printing privately for himself and for select artists from the area. Members of LOCAL's Gallery will receive a discount on printing Our in-house printing options will be a great advantage to both locations.
LOCAL's Gallery will also begin offering art classes and workshops throughout Shasta County, CA. Julie Bullock is joining our working family as the Workshop Coordinator. Julie's presence in the art community is awe-inspiring and we look forward to seeing what she brings to the rest of the community.

Although specializing in waterfalls, Michele also photographs landscapes, portraits, and has a special interest in historical attractions.
