Step into a world of stillness, reflection, and beauty with Of Quiet Days, a new exhibition by Monroe artist Gretchen Vandenberghe.
This collection captures fleeting moments of everyday life—quiet corners of home, shifting skies on distant travels, and the gentle passage of the seasons. Rooted in observation, memory, and an appreciation for the ordinary, Gretchen’s paintings form a visual journal where light, texture, and time carry the stories of how we live, see, and remember.
