JIM KENNISON -P0ET
I’ve been asked many times what it was in my life that inspired me to write poems. The answer is: my 4th grade teacher.

OLSON FAMILY SCRAPBOOK I – 2016 REUNION REFLECTION

SUSAN REYNOLDS -PAINTER – SERIES I
The goal of my paintings is to lead the viewer into my world of nature thru abstracted images. I paint because I love the process. From color, composition, line, form and intuition. I approach my work with passion and creative choices.
Landscapes, birds and animals are my current subject matter. As I paint I commune and connect with nature. In the beginning I draw what I see and it becomes what I feel.
During painting I transform familiar objects, representing them just enough for the viewer to make their own meaning from my abstraction while allowing the viewer to take time to appreciate and to personally assess.
