Bring Me to Life exhibition is back for a second year running at East Kilbride Arts Centre.

South Lanarkshire born and raised artist Michelle Keenan continues to involve the local community in collecting recycled materials and found goods that go into the heart of each Sculpture.  Michelle has also involved up and coming young artists to participate and the exhibition by providing a drawing or painting to be displayed, this will be transformed and brought to life by Michelle in the form of a lifelike sculpture.

Michelle provides interactive, thought-provoking art that captures the viewers’ attention as well as making an impact on recycling within the arts.
