Virginia creates her landscapes from the classical style to the modern, and sometimes a combination of both. She defines her style as expressive colorism, with the use of bold stroke and the pushing of intense color.
We are accepting pottery work for the main exhibit and also original artwork to be displayed in the secondary gallery. Please visit our Events page for more details.

July Monthly Meeting
Gina Stumf - Landscapes
Tuesday, July 28th, 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Open to the Public
July's presenter is local artist Gina Stumf. As far back as Gina can remember she has always had a pencil in her hand and a vision in her mind. While the familiar forms of her landscapes, street scenes and still life’s reflect that which we see in nature. Gina chooses vibrant hues and colors that bring out the excitement of their natural beauty.
Gina has mentored with nationally acclaimed artists including, Kevin Macpherson, Andy Braitman, Rebecca Schweiger, Connie Winters, and Mary Erickson, along with studies in Canada, Southern France and Tuscany.
Gina's paintings have been shown in numerous juried regional and national shows as well as Solo Shows.
