Maureen G. Hahn is the featured artist for the month of July at Lehigh Regional Medical Center Cafe’, 1500 Lee Boulevard, Lehigh Acres. Stop in the Cafe’\u00a0Monday\u00a0through\u00a0Friday\u00a0from\u00a07 a.m. – 5 p.m.\u00a0to see Maureen’s beautiful artwork.<\/p>\n

Ms. Hahn is a member of Arts of the Inland (AOI), \u00a0lives in LaBelle \u00a0and has been interested in art\u00a0since she was in high school.\u00a0 She likes to draw as well as paint, changing from oil painting to acrylic painting about twelve years ago.<\/p>\n

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, she moved to Pensacola, FL in 1957 where she took Art courses and Fashion Drawing courses at Pensacola Jr. College.\u00a0 She moved to LaBelle in 2002 and currently takes lessons from her daughter, Megan Kissinger, who teaches at Riverbend Estates each\u00a0Thursday.\u00a0 Megan convinced her Mother to change from oils to acrylics.\u00a0 Now that she is retired, her main hobby is painting and most of her work is seascapes or water scenes.<\/p>\n

Her children grew up on Perdido Bay in Pensacola so a lot of her paintings reflect the fun the kids had on the water. Maureen\u2019s acrylic painting titled \u201cMichael on Perdido\u201d won Best of Show at the AOI Perceptions Art Show in 2014.\u00a0 She also paints a lot of Irish & Scottish cottages.\u00a0 Painting in her daughter\u2019s class each week with other ladies, is her favorite activity away from home.<\/p>\n

Arts of the Inland is a 501(c)3 public charity nonprofit umbrella arts organization supporting the Visual, Literary and Performing Artists in the inland communities of south Florida.\u00a0 For further information contact:\u00a0artsinland@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0239-303-5849<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
