The Livingston Fine Art Association (LFAA) invites artists, art enthusiasts, and community members to attend its upcoming monthly member meeting featuring guest speaker Crissy Stratford, an internationally recognized artist known for her intricate, highly detailed illustrations.
The meeting will take place on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., with a meet-and-greet beginning at 6:30 p.m., in Commons Classroom #3 at Cleary University. The Cleary Commons building is the first major building visible from the Grand River Avenue entrance to campus.
Stratford has earned recognition throughout the art world for her extraordinary attention to detail and distinctive artistic style. Her work has been exhibited in numerous high-end art shows around the globe, and she has completed an artist residency at the prestigious Detroit Athletic Club. Her artwork and creative process have also been featured on Fox 2 Detroit, WDIV Local 4, and twice on WXYZ Channel 7 Detroit.
During her presentation, Stratford will share insights into her artistic process and discuss how she creates her highly detailed illustrations. Known as an “extreme detail artist,” she primarily works with a .005 Micron pen, incorporating hidden elements and intricate patterns throughout her pieces.
“Crissy’s work invites viewers to slow down and discover something new each time they look,” said LFAA leadership. “Her creativity, technique, and unique approach to storytelling through detail make her an exciting guest speaker for artists and art lovers alike.”
Stratford has been drawing for as long as she can remember and is particularly passionate about illustrating living things. Her artwork encourages viewers to explore every inch of a piece, often revealing hidden details and surprises that may not be apparent at first glance.
The Livingston Fine Art Association hosts monthly meetings, educational programs, and opportunities for artists of all skill levels to connect, learn, and grow within the local arts community.
The June meeting is open to LFAA members and guests interested in learning more about art and the creative process.
