Summer is Here!

Summer has officially started! Here at The Gift Shop we welcome the season with art that celebrates Summer's special events and memories. This week we will look at the "Summer Art" of  Winnie Chrzanowski, Marianna Defer-Pfeifer, Catherine Firmbach, and Theresa Lowe.

Winnie Chrzanowski (CHRZ) is a photographer adept at many different photo techniques.

"Waterlily"

"Sunrise in Paradise"

"Dog on the Beach"

Marianna Defer-Pfeifer (DEF) is a skilled painter and teacher. Below is her lovely Summer painting entitled "Lake Michigan".

Catherine Firmbach (FIR) is also a photographer. Her practiced "eye" has captured some beautiful Summer memories in prints and greeting cards. Here are just three of her available greeting cards.

Theresa Lowe makes the most beautiful wind chimes from fused glass, beads, and natural wood. Their sweet sound is so delightful.
