MIMI gallery, 26 Market St. in Ipswich, will feature the new work of Salem artist, Cathy Paige, through February, with an artist reception, Friday, Feb. 12, 6 p.m.

Paige's latest work is the culmination of a dozen years of exploring the expression of transitions of color and texture on a grid. Paige applies numerous layers of acrylic paint and glaze and then sands, buffs and repaints the work to achieve the pieces' densely rich surfaces and depth. Her latest work is reminiscent of Persian carpets, woven pieces and complex marbling.

'Shoebox Memories' at Grosvenor Park Gallery

"Shoebox Memories," an exhibit by Marblehead artist Michael Haley, will be presented through March 4 at The Gallery at Grosvenor Park, Grosvenor Park Nursing Center, located at Vinnin Square, 7 Loring Hills Ave..

He then photographed them and used digital technology to restore and arrange them in a series of photo collages, as well as a short animated video, with different themes such "Anniversary," "Birthday Party" or "A Day At The Circus."

Haley has an extensive background as both an advertising art director and freelance photographer that stretches from Madison Avenue to The Virgin Islands to Boston. Along the way, he has created national ad campaigns for clients such as Chanel, Clairol, The Red Cross, Liberty Mutual and GE.
