Auto-Biography, An Illustrated Motor Memoir Photo Illustrations by Ellen Marshall February 29–April 29 Reception Mar. 8, 4–6 pm
Ellen (Elly) Marshall’s photographic career spans 50 years promoting community development and leadership through written, visual, and musical expression. She cares deeply about improving communication between health, employment, and education fields of practice. She plays with painting apps, prints on canvas, paper, and cloth. Ellen’s images remind us of many favorite rides from the past.
Ellen is addicted to photographing autos and their enthusiasts, she stalks nearby cruise-ins at Plain City, Springfield, Clifton, and Young’s Dairy. She tries to capture every old ride spotted in Yellow Springs, accepting rides when offered, and encouraging onlookers to share stories.
This photo show features large and small format examples of Ellen Brucker Marshall’s auto adventures. Enjoy playful images flirting with machines and their people. See how art meets technology, changes mobility by referencing time and place. Experience car-culture, some nifty old vehicles, and pretend that you are viewing this show with your friends who like the old stuff too.
The show can be viewed during the Center’s open hours of Monday–Friday from 9:30 am–4 pm, unless there is a class in the Fireplace Room at the time.
