GG Havens-Reid

It is with sadness that we post the passing of Gallery Uptown artist GG Havens-Reid in September of this year.   GG has been a glass artist for over 40 years; half of those years she worked as a  stained glass artist making stained-glass windows and kitchen cabinet doors.   The other half of her time as a glass artist was focused on lamp-worked glass  and making the  beads with which she created original necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.


GG will be very missed.

 

bonnie palutke will be showing 4 paintings in lansing

"Cathedral," Bonnie Palutke, acrylic, graphite pencil and gloss medium

can be seen at Michigan Made Holiday event at The Lansing Art Gallery . Reception Nov. 10 from 5-8 pm. 

"Remembered"

An image of an original oil painting of DeZwaan windmill in Holland, MI,  created by Gallery Uptown member artist Lynne Boezaart was included in  the latest book by local historian Wallace K. Ewing, Ph.D. 

"East Wind, North Field"

"East Wind, North Field"

"East Wind, North Field"

 Although  Lynne’s painting was created in her  studio from reference photos, she has often painted the windmill and  surrounding gardens “en plein air.” 

"Remembered"

"East Wind, North Field"

"East Wind, North Field"

...takes  the reader on a virtual tour of the 81 state and national designated  historic sites in Ottawa County. The  book identifies not only  seldom noticed sites, but tells stories that ignite our  awareness of why that history is memorable.  It also is a gallery of  photographs and other images that unfolds the past and illuminates the  present.”

Annual Art on the Island event at Holland's Windmill Island

Works by gallery members Ann Trowbridge and Lynne Boezaart

took prizes and were recognized during the September 8th reception on Holland’s Windmill Island.       CONGRATULATIONS, ANN AND LYNNE!


This traditionally annual  competition (last held in 2019), celebrates Windmill Island, its  gardens and architecture through original art.  
Works are judged in  three categories:  Plein air (art created on site, in the open air),  photography, and “The Best of the Rest” (studio works).

 Ann’s pastel, “Late Summer on the Island,” 

won first place in the Best of the Rest category. 

 Lynne’s oil painting, “The Trellis,”

 won first place in the Plein Air category. 

 “Easy Pickings,” also by Lynne, 

was voted the People’s Choice. 

We share with sadness the news of Carol Schmidt’s passing.




On May 24th, due to complications 

from acute myeloid leukemia, our gallery lost one of our valued members, Carol Brauer Schmidt.   

Her sweet smile, generous nature, and joyful art 

will be greatly missed.
