SANDRA LEE PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART STUDIO CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING IN MARATHON

Marathon once again has a center for creative expression with the official grand opening of Sandra Lee Photography and Art Studio, held in partnership with the Marathon Chamber of Commerce on Aug. 30. In addition to offering limited edition prints and original paintings, the studio is in the process of adding dozens of individual and group art classes, ranging from art education and painting with various media to jewelry making, knitting, mosaic creation, embroidery and more.

“It’s time to bring art classes back to Marathon,” said Lee, a frequent Weekly photography collaborator. “Learning art can be healing, encouraging and uplifting. All ages need an air-conditioned place to express themselves through art. I’ve been doing private art classes in a smaller studio for over a year, and now I’m so excited to be able to expand and offer public classes to the community in this wonderful new space.”

The studio is located in the Town Square Mall plaza, 11400 Overseas Hwy., Suite 216-217. More information is at facebook.com/sandraleephotographystudio.
