About the Artists:
Katherine Corden is a fine artist living in Traverse City, Michigan with her husband and two young children. In her work, she is best known for her unique expression of the figure and use of color. She attributes much of her influence to her art teaching mother who started her in early art classes, as well as her background in studying anatomy while pursuing her first career as a physical therapist. Her lifestyle and creative work have blended over the years, and much like mixed paint, the two have become inseparable.
Alyssa Smith is a French-American Artist. She now resides in Traverse City. She gathers her inspiration primarily from the various landscapes she has encountered throughout life and experience farming. This is coupled with the complex inter-weavings of the mind. Her work is ever seeking the connections between these physical and spiritual worlds - our landscapes offering portals to older wisdom. In a world moving too fast, her paintings offer a practice of observation - not of the thing itself but of what it makes you feel. We know what it looks like, but what does it do to you? Nature and our relationship to it presenting a springboard from which we learn of our own story and cycles of life.
Alexa Grambush was born and raised in Michigan, loving the Great Lakes and the time she spent living with her sisters on a boat in Traverse City. She is an observer, creator and painter. Her innate sensitivity to space and dynamics, both interpersonal and aesthetic, informs her creative interactions which have included watercolor and acrylic painting, weaving, floral design, environment design, and event production. Since leaving her home state she has called California home, and spent the past winter living and exhibiting in Nagasaki, Japan. She returns with the sun every year to Traverse City.
Lindsay Gardner an illustrator and author whose watercolor and gouache illustrations have appeared in cookbooks and editorial projects, advertising campaigns, and stationery and interior design collaborations. This wide-ranging artistic sensibility makes her a gentle interrogator of the world around her. Her food art has appeared in the Cookie Advent Cookbook (Chronicle, 2016), Pies, Fries & Ice Cream (Chronicle, 2016), and The Rituals (Chronicle, 2019). You may have also seen her work in Uppercase Magazine, Architectural Digest, StyleCarrot, Decorist, Vogue, among others. Originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, she's been fortunate to live in the beautiful and vibrant locales of Oakland and San Francisco, CA, Chicago, IL, New York, NY and Middlebury, VT. She currently lives in northern Michigan with her husband and two daughters.
