M Gallery of Fine Art SE LLC is pleased to present “Southern Dreams,” an exhibition featuring pastel artist Denise LaRue Mahlke. Mahlke is known nationally for her works depicting the beautiful scenery across the United States. The show will be composed of pastel master works and hang from June 1st – 30th.
There is a quiet thoughtfulness and passionate purpose to the work of artist D. LaRue Mahlke. Her paintings convey a sense of restfulness and peace that reflects the spiritual connection she feels for the landscape she loves. Denise believes that being an artist is a calling that involves preserving, celebrating, and sharing in God’s creation. This sense of having a calling, a God-given purpose, motivates her to paint from the heart and challenges her to continue to sharpen her skills, understanding, and dedication. “There is always more to learn and I have a responsibility to put forth my best efforts in the spirit of thanksgiving and praise. The opportunity to reflect the creative ingenuity and love of the Creator through my work is a privilege and a joy.”
Denise is a Signature member of the Pastel Society of America, and is also a member of Plein Air Austin and Central Texas Pastel Society. Her work has been featured in American Artist, Pastel Journal, Plein Air Magazine, Southwest Art, and Western Art Collector, and continues to gain national recognition and earn awards. She is an invited artist to the prestigious Maynard Dixon Country show, which supports the Thunderbird Foundation for the Arts, and Artistic Horizons which benefits Arts Without Boundaries.

USA (10 May 2012) Graduation day is one of the proudest moments in a student's life. But for so many people facing a mountain of student debt, it's also a time for entering an unfair world of loan collectors and limited job prospects. Burdened by this debt, graduating students will exeunt the college stage with a silent, but firm expression of their angst and frustration in response to the growing student loan debt bubble. Formed by the collective voices of OWSPR, WORKHOUSE, Occupy Colleges, Move On, OccupyWallSt.org, Occupy Student Debt, Occupy Together, Ben Cohen (Ben and Jerry’s), Rebuild the Dream, “Default: The Student Loan Documentary,” Backbone Campaign, Occupy Student Debt, EDU Debtors Union, Forgive Student Loan Debt and Wear Your Debt, students throughout the country have pledged to use Commencement ceremony -- their big day--- to address this debt jubilee by white taping the actual dollar sign of their debt incurred to caps and gowns or by wearing symbolic ball & chains on their ankles in silent protest. A simple demonstration of expression to illustrate the national student frustration over this deep financial crisis, Occupy Graduation does not seek to interrupt the actual ceremony of commencement in any way save for visual representation. Amongst the Institutions who have pledged participation include George Washington University (Thursday, 17 May 2012), CU Boulder (Friday, 11 May 2012), The University of North Carolina (Sunday, May 13) and many, many more.
