Albion’s wealth of public parks is captured in this mixed media rendering of “Park Place” that includes Lloyd Park.
The art was created by Maggie LaNoue by a commission from John Geyer. His business, “Park Place Apartments” is located in this area, as are the Morning Star/ Recorder offices.

Prints and cards with art by Maggie LaNoue are available at MichiganPrints.com or visit Pure Albion, Jolly Green Junction, or Eastend Studio & Gallery.
