Pottery by Autumn Aslakson
Along with his family, Ray Jansma contributed of his time and talents to our community in immeasurable ways. He was a gifted painter, sculptor, wood worker, boat builder, potter, photographer and by trade a talented architectural designer. While designing over 300 architectural jobs in 30 years as a design agency of one, Ray and Phyllis raised four children, and Ray created thousands of original works of fine art. Ray’s studio, located just behind their Ramshorn home, was always open. This creative sanctuary is where artists or those just wanting to explore painting and drawing could gather every Tuesday night to draw from live models.

Deborah Bowen is a mixed media painter and designer from Spring Lake. A proud recipient of several awards in juried shows throughout Michigan, including Muskegon Museum of Art Regional and Grand Rapids Festival of Arts. She is an active member of Lakeshore Visual Arts Cooperative and displays her art work at the Gallery Uptown in Grand Haven.

The strategy of the game changes as each player, the artist or the work, makes a move or inspires the other.”
