Michael LeKites Exhibition.





Six weeks ago I was invited  by my old high school art teacher, Ron McGinniss,  to be the featured artist for the grand opening of the Station Galley. It's a new gallery in Lock Haven that was refurbished from an old train station. The station was actually moved from another part of town to its present location.

Ron, along with my father, was a major factor in me going to college and pursuing an art degree. I wasn't always, lets say, the best of students back in those days. But Ron had a great way of inspiring and correcting. He not only always expected the best of me, he was always glad to see me. He was the one teacher I never wanted to disappoint.
I know it's quite a distance for most everyone, but if you are in the area that Friday evening,  be sure to stop by! It will be great to see you!!
 Lock Haven is located about 30 minutes west of Williamsport.
