A company called Kansas Earth and Sky Candle Co. An artist featuring Kansas landscapes and sunsets. It seemed like a natural pairing for another Artist by Candlelight event at Ellinwood's Kansas Earth and Sky Candle Co. on Saturday, Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. Store co-owner Jennie Andersen said Russell's Angela Muller will again be the featured artist for the free event.
"We've done an Artist by Candlelight event with her previously, prior to COVID, and it was a very well-attended event, so we want to welcome her back to do another Artist by Candlelight talk," Andersen said.
The focus of this event will be prairie moons. Muller, a fifth-generation Kansas with deep farming roots, will share the inspirations behind some of her prairie-based paintings. Adding to the candlelight ambiance, Kansas Earth and Sky will also reveal a limited-edition fragrance Long Nights Moon candle. Purchases, however, are optional.
"It's 100 percent free, and if they want to buy stuff, she will have a collection of small moon paintings they can purchase," Andersen said. "If they want to purchase a Long Nights Moon candle they can but the talk itself is free and we do a reception here."
Kansas Earth and Sky Candle Co. is located at 23 N. Main Street in Ellinwood. The reception following Muller's presentation will include light refreshments.
