Sale of artworks by Carol Brauer-Schmidt to benefit St. John’s Lutheran Church and School

The works of beloved local artist Carol Brauer-Schmidt 

will be available for sale to the public in a one-day event.

The  11 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 15 sale will be held in the social hall at St.  John’s Lutheran Church and school, 

527 Taylor, Grand Haven.  


The sale  will feature Brauer-Schmidt’s art supplies, and works created over her  more than 55 years as an artist.  Brauer-Schmidt died in May of 2022  from complications 

of acute myeloid leukemia.


A  well-known local artist and long-time member of Grand Haven’s Gallery  Uptown, Brauer-Schmidt was perhaps  best known for her uplifting images  of children.  She was a  long-time supporter and volunteer with St  John’s Lutheran School, and proceeds from the art sale will benefit the  school and St. John’s Lutheran Church, her family said.

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.

 

"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"

 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.”
