A Living Canvas of Local Creativity
Get to know the story that makes Mimi’s Original Art a special place to experience creativity.


About Us
Mimi’s Original Art is more than just a gallery—it’s a living, breathing celebration of creativity and community. We represent a diverse group of local artists whose works range from fine art and handmade jewelry to pottery, home décor, and wearable art. Every piece tells a story, and every artist is part of our family. Our warm, welcoming space invites visitors to connect personally with the artists, discover one-of-a-kind creations, and experience art in an approachable and joyful way. We believe art should inspire, uplift, and bring people together—and that’s exactly what makes Mimi’s Original Art unlike anywhere else.
These experiences have not only enriched my life but have inspired several of my works and shaped my artistic style.
Our Story
Founded by Michele Connors, Mimi’s Original Art began with a dream to create a place where local artists could thrive and art lovers could feel at home. What started as a small gallery quickly grew into a vibrant hub for creativity and connection. Over the past decade, we’ve built a strong community of artists and supporters who share our passion for originality, craftsmanship, and collaboration. From lively events and pop-ups to special exhibits and local partnerships, Mimi’s Original Art continues to evolve while staying true to its roots —celebrating the power of art and the people who make it.
