| "Where Memories Are Made" |
| A Labor of Love - Upon the passing of Sherry Linscott's brother Michael John Looney, the idea of making a difference through art in a variety of forms was begun. Both Sherry and her husband Chuck wanted to not only grant Michael's request, of "sharing my art with others", but to also promote the Swedish village of Bishop Hill, Illinois that Michael photographed and drew so often. Michael J. Looney's use of the Giclée Method of art creation will render an image of exceptional clarity. Giclée prints will exceed your greatest expectations. With a pallet of over 7 million colors, and a process delivering up to 4 million droplets of ink per second, prints can be reproduced from transparency, or directly from the original without compromising detail and color vibrancy. All of Michael J. Looney's Giclée prints are signed, numbered, limited editions certified. |
| Upcoming Events & Demonstrations - During festivals and special village events you will find one or more of our artists providing demonstrations of their craft. Conveniently located beside the Post Office (same building/side by side) and directly across from the park. |

Bishop Hill Fine Arts
| Website Updated on: Nov. 22, 2009. |
Featured Artist:
Michael John Looney -
Prints of local Bishop Hill scenes, as well as Rail Art that were photographed using a digital
camera and then enhanced using a computer and archivally printed using the Giclée process of
printing and then museum quality framed are being offered. A percentage of monies earned
from the sale of Michael's Giclee prints is used for the continuation of the Michael J. Looney
Memorial Scholarship which is presented each year to a student pursuing a career in the field of
art or architectural design.
All prints are printed on 100% cotton rag paper (watercolor), acid free mats, board, and
backing, and archival ink, with framed prints also receiving museum conservation glass thereby
making the framed prints truly a museum quality Giclee piece of art.
