Edie Kellar Mahaney: A Retrospective

Edie Kellar Mahaney’s (1930 – 2017) creative path took divergent roads throughout the seven decades of her professional career. Her constant was a passion for the creative spirit that infused each and every one of her artistic efforts – whether a painting, an exhibit of collectible dolls,or a business sign commissioned by a dress shop. Color, line,design and originality were critical to every creative endeavor she approached, no matter the time, place or stage of life she was experiencing.  The Mahaney family and SullivanMunce Cultural Center Executive Director, Cynthia Young, have worked together to create an exhibit that attempts to put into perspective that passion for creativity that drove her not only as an artist, but as a wife, mother, community leader and most importantly – as an individual. Her passion for art was matched only by her love of family and friends.
