Sanders is Ritz Artist of the Month

The Ritz Gallery, 306 W. Main in Blytheville, announced Katie Sanders as featured artist for the month of February. The Ritz will host a free Meet the Artist reception on Monday, Jan. 31, from 6-8 p.m.

The event is an opportunity to meet and support this local artist and to enjoy viewing her many works displayed.

Katie is a colorblind finger painting artist, originally from Paragould, where she attended Greene County Tech School. Katie has a powerful story of overcoming addiction, and fighting mental illness, which has allowed her to express this through her artwork.

Katie’s work will remain on exhibit during the month of February and will be available for viewing weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. as well as during Ritz evening and weekend events. For more information call the Ritz at 870-762-1744.
