Max Bunnell -Retrospect of an Artful Life
May 25-Aug 25                        Artist Reception May 25, 7-9 pm
 
          Max Bunnell, is an accomplished water and oil painter and excellent sketch draftsman, but he is much more than that.  Max has been a beloved teacher for 51 years, sharing his talents with eager students?many of whom have become renowned artists themselves. Many times, Max anonymously provided funds to help students go on art trips, buy art supplies, and to continue their education.  He has been the instrumental force in Moapa Valley in bringing the arts to that community and building a prestigious art collection there.  The DSC Sears Invitational Show and Sale began because Max had created one of the most successful shows in the region; but, most of all his kind and generous persona is reflected in the content of his artwork and it is that same artful spirit that we honor in him.
