Opening reception Thursday, June 20, 5-7pm

Q&A session at 6pm

Exhibition on display through July 6

Drawing on her experience as a former illustrator, Christy DeHoog uses an array of media (acrylic, collage and drawing media) along with a finely honed visual vocabulary to connect with viewers on multiple levels. Over the years her work has transitioned from subject based into abstraction, as she pushes the process of playing with line and shape and fields of color.

Since earning her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Calvin College, Tolsma Harlow has exhibited in West Michigan and her work has been collected nationally and internationally. Her passion for the arts developed early in life when she expressed an interest in drawing, and she was delighted to discover that she could continue making art as a professional artist. Today she works in oil paint and encaustic.
