Winter Arts Festive Winners
“Always on her Mind”, Kimberly Grace Gill, Acrylic
The imagery is powerful, altogether haunting and beautiful.
From Juror Robyn Kane: “There were so many excellent submissions in the 25th Annual Juried Winter Arts Festival. Jurying the show was a very difficult process on account of the large volume of high quality work. I found something to appreciate in each work of art.”
“Braided Urn”, John Riepma, Cherry and Curly Maple
The craftsmanship of this urn is exquisite.
Third Place
“Heart, Soul, and Passion”, Christi Dreese, Mixed Media
Like a memory fading in and out of consciousness, this piece evokes a sense of longing, love, and loss.

Have You Met Kendra Postma
She’s one of the newer members of the Gallery.
She’s a multimedia, collage, and ceramic artist. Her work, whether it be clay from the earth or a painting with bits of paper often take on a dreamlike or spiritual aura.
Of her work she says “My inspiration often comes from walks on the beach with the water lapping at my feet and fills me with a sense of peace, or sometimes it’s my chickens which influence what I create. I always have an intense desire or need to create something that nourishes my soul. For me, the whole process of creating art is fulfilling in a way I don’t completely understand. From pulling out my materials and starting on a blank canvas, or what kind of clay to use, to signing my name and choosing a frame, I feel rewarded from every part of the journey. Every time I complete a project and finally hang it on the wall or send it away, I’m filled with melancholy that the process is over; at least until I start my next project.”
A couple examples of her work —
Stop in and see her work, we think you’ll enjoy it.
