Versatile artist and NWFA board member, Lauren Nelson, will present his exhibit called, “ Photographs - Relics of The Past”. The exhibit is comprised of selections of pictures, photos and memories, including digital prints and prints from old 35mm slide/film media from years past.

Lauren works wonders by precisely using photographs with wood and metal called mixed media. He is the artist who constructed more than one sculpture of the Stuntz Bay Boat Houses. He also constructed the striking red coffee cabinet for the NWFA Gallery that is a work of art. Lauren has been an avid working board member of NWFA for about 8 years.

“Bold Strokes.... My Love of Unpredictable Color “ will be the displayed work of versatile, vibrant, Brenna Kohlhase, who teaches classes at NWFA. Brenna is an outstanding watercolorist who has been trying her hand and heart using acrylic paint. Here is her description: “I have taken the past 2 years to learn the new colorful medium of acrylics. One positive side effect of the pandemic for me has been extended time to explore new mediums and become very experimental. I am finding it so much fun to swatch out color strings, brush opaque broad strokes and create textural marks. Loving collage and mixed media, I have been dabbling in encaustic hot wax and also cold wax to add some texture to my work. Feel free to come and see what I've been up to during quarantine.”
