Painter-sculptor M.L. Carpenter will present a demonstration in sculpture on Monday, Sept. 26, for the Art League of Highlands at the Highlands Performing Arts Center. A social begins at 5 p.m. where participants will have a chance to meet the artist, followed by the demonstration at 6 p.m.

After studying sculpture in Italy in the 1980s, Carpenter brought home a love of seeing the clay or marble come to life in her hands. She is known for her vibrant abstracts and also works in three-dimensional mediums. Shown and collected nationally and internationally, her work is featured in collections including Emory University, University of Alabama, the JFK Plaza lobby in New York and the University of Kentucky Hospital in Lexington.
