Celebrating the Beauty & Wisdom of Women Over 50 • Portraits by Kathy Morley

Celebrating the Beauty and Wisdom of Women Over 50 - Portraits by Kathy Morley features a collection of professional portraits accompanied by their personal words of wisdom. This exhibition is on display now through May 3, 2024 at the Andersen Enrichment Center, 120 Ezra Rust, across from Ojibway Island in Saginaw. Hours are from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Award-winning photographer and portrait artist Kathy Morley opened her Midland, MI studio, Morley Portraiture in 2004. She is best known in the community for capturing the spirit and personality of her subjects in a timeless way.

Kathy has photographed thousands of clients including three of Dow Chemical’s Presidents and their families, and an image selected for a postage stamp for the country of Greece.

Morley says, “My most important work to date has been photographing women over age 50. When I started this project, I thought many women like me, had very few images of themselves, and this was an opportunity to change that. Through my lens, women can see themselves as not only beautiful but so much more."

"It’s my passion to help women feel empowered and to embrace the woman they’ve become. These portraits are a reminder that they do matter and that they are beautiful….and of course, WISE!”

The Morley exhibition is the first of a two part photography series, Focus on Women, at Andersen Enrichment Center. Women Behind the Lens will open May 8, 2024 and feature the work of five women who are making photography their life’s work or use photography as a means of expressing their creativity.

Art @ the Andersen is made possible with the support of the Maxwell K. Pribil Memorial Trust, Jury Foundation, Harvey Randall Wickes Foundation, and the Michigan Arts & Culture Council. This project has been established by the Saginaw Arts & Enrichment Commission to give artists in the Great Lakes Bay Region an opportunity to exhibit and sell their work.
