Building Memoryland

Yvonne Kunz • Marshfield, Wisconsin

Better known as "Vonnie" by friends and family, Yvonne Kunz was born in Ironwood, Michigan and lived her childhood mostly in the Arpin area. In fact, part of the inspiration for this show is from her time living in Central Wisconsin. Vonnie also draws inspiration from the music of her son. Experienced in both oils and acrylics, Vonnie's goal as a painter is to use her God-given talent to bring happiness, good memories and blessings to others.

Tension

Timothy Bergelin • Marshfield, Wisconsin

Timothy uses porcelain as a starting medium to make both functional and sculptural works of art. His functional pieces are altered after throwing to create dynamic shapes that serve a practical purpose and encourage the viewer to explore form and surface. Tim's sculptural creations explore celestial-inspired surfaces and space while incorporating a more figurative style.
