Madeline McDowell Artist Reception & Exhibit
Friday, March 28, 4-6pm
Flying Goat Cellars Tasting Room
1520 E. Chestnut Ct, Lompoc, CA
Join us for a toast to local Madeline McDowell, who followed her passion in retirement from criminal law to travel the world and emerge as an artist and photographer. Come by to meet Madeline and see her latest work on March 27. Perhaps she’ll inspire you to book your next trip, pick up a paintbrush or camera and express your inner self. ”I am a kayaker, World Traveler, photographer, painter, nature lover, birder and golfer,” proclaims Madeline.
