Meet the Artists

A woman with dark, curly hair wearing a purple dress and a silver necklace, smiling outdoors.

Susan Sterkenberg

Susan has been painting since 2015. She paints primarily in acrylic and oil on canvas. Landscapes of ocean scenes, marshes, and mountains are her areas of passion. Particularly of interest to her are how light dances upon water, trees, and the sky. The sky of the landscape is one of her most prized areas of interest.

A young man with curly hair is standing outdoors, leaning against a large tree trunk, and smiling at the camera. He is wearing a turquoise T-shirt, beige pants, and has accessories including a necklace and bracelets. The background includes greenery and a park-like setting.

Greg Sterkenberg

(June 5, 1992- September 17, 2015)

Greg was an artist in every sense of the word. Curious, always the camera around his neck, passionate about the unusual and beautiful- the way a flower pushes up through a small crack, the way the light lands in the sky illuminating it from within, the surreal, and things just beyond our reach.

He continues to inspire us every day!
