Cover Story in the Weekly
About Michelle Magdalena

Art and Alchemy

Michelle Magdalena’s photography comes to terms with death—and life.
By Walter Ryce

In the open-beam ceilinged loft of her Pacific Grove home her father built, Michelle Magdalena Maddox – tall, crimson-haired, pale skin peppered by freckles – gracefully patters about. She sits in a chair, swivels, gestures expressively, gingerly touches her face, crosses her legs, spins ‘round, and aims her eyes as if taking a photo of the unfolding conversation about her craft – photography....

"A SHOW OF HANDS "
Cafe 316
Julie Capili sings Jazz live
Michelle Magdalena shares with us yet another intuitive body of work, besides her current show at Cafe Lumiere, which has been consistently reviewed as, "BRAVE". Magdalena paints the town with her posters and brochures for the Big Sur NUDE photo workshop with Kim Weston and is throwing a Press Release Party at Yvonne Botz's new Monterey Cafe 316 on Alverado Street under the roof of the late Bay Books.

Come enjoy live music by Monterey Beauty Julie Capili, and glance at a new Zen like body of affordable art by Michelle Magdalena and experience a new Alverado venue for future events and great Coffee.
