Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center teacher from Huntington Woods calls mosaics her "addiction" and hopes that they can help patients.
Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital recently received 36 mosaic pieces donated from the Mosaic Artists of Michigan, which created an interesting situation for Huntington Woods artist Joan Schwartz, a retired pediatric nurse at Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital. "It's an addiction for me," said Schwartz, a member of MAM. "I'm out and about and I see an acorn or a pushpin or a bottle cap and I think, this can be used for a piece. Every place I look, I see things that can be used." The 12" x 12" artworks are part of the hospital’s Healing Arts Program, which includes visual art exhibits and concerts. In keeping with the nature-themed art throughout the hospital, 31 artists worked in four subjects: birds, flowers, hearts, and trees for the donated …

The exhibit at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center is the first for Italian-born artist Anthony Macioce.
In the latest exhibit at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center (BBAC), the student becomes the master as former BBAC student Anthony Macioce puts his work on display until Aug. 22. “I was born in Italy, so I tend to paint a lot of Italian cities,” Macioce said. “I like sports paintings, and landscapes are just nice. My colors are very vibrant. Once in a while, I try to do grayed-down paintings, but eventually, I go back and brighten them up. That’s just my personality in painting.” Macioce was 12 when he came to the United States from Alvino, a small town 90 miles southeast of Rome. He proclaims that whatever his approach, one thing is certain: His art reflects the spirit, the passion and the colors of his Italian heritage. “I still haven’t…
