The husband and wife team of John and Marion Riedl call Ludington their home, and their retirement years are now spent painting, sewing, and creating one-of-a-kind crafts.

JOHN RIEDL...Paintings By Riedl
John has always had an interest in art, and enjoyed painting and drawing in high school. He worked in Ludington as a mechanical designer/draftsman, and soon began photographing the local scenery to use as subject matter for his original oil paintings. Upon retiring in 1998, John had more time to put his talent to use, capturing the beauty of the local natural settings in his artworks. He expanded his repertoire to also include scenes from other areas of the country, taking photographs which he refers to when composing his paintings. Reproductions of these original oil and acrylic paintings are available in print form as well as notecards.

MARION RIEDL...Creations by MIR
Marion has always loved sewing, beginning with making her own clothing as a teenager and later sewing clothing for her children. For 32 years she worked as a staff writer for the local newspaper, but began in the craft show business in 1995 making her original Bag Ladies. They hang on the wall and hold plastic bags so they can be reused. She expanded her business to include quilted placemats, runner sets, pot holders...and by special order, covers for toasters, bread makers, and mixers.
