Inspirations and the Feeling of Yes!
Exhibition with the Greater Port Clinton Area Arts Council, Ohio

Opening Reception: July 10, 6–8 PM
The Arts Garage (TAG), 317 W. Perry St., Port Clinton
Exhibition Dates: July 3–31

The Greater Port Clinton Area Arts Council’s next exhibit at The Arts Garage (TAG) is sure to inspire lovers of nautical, floral, and nature-inspired art. Three artists—Gregory Ehmann, Nicolette Tolomeo Germain, and Susan Walker—will be on hand to preview their work at a public reception on Friday, July 10 from 6–8 PM.

Susan Walker’s featured series, The Feeling of Yes, explores the quiet yet life-changing power of a single decision. Saying yes can be a commitment—to a relationship, a job, the military, or to faith. It can mean taking a chance on something or someone, stepping into the unknown, or choosing trust over hesitation. Often, it is a simple word, but it carries weight, direction, and possibility.

Through layered, expressive paintings filled with movement, color, and intuitive mark-making, Walker reflects these moments of decision—the turning points where courage meets openness. Some yeses are bold and immediate; others are quiet and unfolding. Each piece invites the viewer to consider their own experiences of saying yes, and how those choices have shaped their path, opened new doors, and created space for growth.

Rooted in both emotion and intention, The Feeling of Yes is an invitation—to notice, to reflect, and perhaps to embrace the next yes waiting to be spoken.
