Lifting the Day – A Lockdown Exhibition On the first day of lockdown, MCC Member and globally renowned artist Mary Collis decided to post a painting onto her Facebook page, suggesting she would ‘lift the day’ during the forecast two-week lockdown – 245 days later she was still posting daily. This Facebook lockdown exhibition became a daily source of inspiration and sanity for Mary and her followers, as they shared memories through her art and words about life in locked down Kenya and beyond. ‘Lifting the Day’ is the result of Mary’s work during the lockdown, beautifully reproduced
by Mary Collis
in an art book consisting of 496 pages with a painting on each page. Mary Collis is one of Africa’s leading artists. She was the co-founder of Rahimtulla Museum of Modern Art in Nairobi. She has exhibited and has collectors all over the world. Mary will be launching ‘Lifting the Day’ and signing copies at the Club on 26th November 2021 in Garden Room from 5.30pm.
