Tim Kurtz’s story of life in the arts is as diverse as one can imagine, like a modern da Vinci! In addition to creating paintings ranging from pure abstraction to historically accurate representations of the American Civil War, he has designed armaments, sculptures, decorative masks, furniture and textiles for Herman Miller and founded several companies. He founded gallery X in Chicago as well as taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Mary Sundstrom has been an art educator, director of exhibitions at Holland Area Arts Council, and has designed jewelry for decades. An extremely accomplished painter, she has a reverent fascination with the outdoors and Michigan flora. As a naturalist, she draws inspiration from the creatures, botanicals, and minerals found in the bayous and along the shorelines of the Great Lakes. She now dedicates herself full time to her creative efforts. Come connect with her meditations and inner reflections of the outside world!
