On View Now: Art by Mike and Mary Dixon

The Red Cloud Opera House Gallery is currently displaying two styles of artwork, including artistic photography by Michael Dixon and visual mixed media art, by his wife, Mary Dixon.


Michael Dixon takes a unique perspective on nature and his photos look at the parts of life that usually go unnoticed. The artist himself stated, "I use photography as a medium in many different ways. I am primarily an artistic photographer who chooses to showcase aspects of nature, objects, and people to evoke a response from the viewer. My aim is to engage the subject matter in an unconventional and creative way to allow the viewer a fresh perspective or revelation." Michael's photos play with color and use the distortion or lack of color to emphasize a different frame of mind. The subject of his work focuses primarily on the Great Plains.
