Kim Gledhill:
Painting 8" x 10"
Value: $500
Opening Bid: $80
Upon receiving a BA in studio arts and English, Kim Sillen Gledhill enrolled at the University of Georgia and graduated with MFA.

Presently a New York resident, Gledhill has been commissioned both public and private portraits and gained experience as an art reviewer for NY Arts Magazine. In addition she has received numerous grants for her abilities and featured her work in exhibitions both NYC and Georgia.

Gledhill’s oil paintings are influenced by the subconscious truth of dreams and uses portraitures as a means to explore “the intangible realities underneath the surface.”

Roxann Sorenson:

Porcelain box that the Minnesota based artist made for her mother in 1982. Her mother was a cancer survivor who lived to 91 years!
As a life-long professional artist, and as a recently qualified arts educator, art has been the focus and inspiration for my life from my earliest childhood. I have been dedicated to learning and growing through a variety of arts media, with clay as my major media for over 40 years.
A scholarship to Hamline University confirmed my choice of colleges; studio arts classes with Nils Lou continued my high school development in wheelwork and sculpture. Working in the art department of Macalester College for seven years as an administrative assistant and curator helped me to realize that I needed to continue to make my own art, which is the principle reason that I decided to make the move to our family farm in Alexandria.
An old granary became my studio, and the creation of a new life style began with the planting of my first garden and the construction of my first kiln. Always an optimist, ever cheerful, I embraced the joy of being along with doing all the things that were necessary to survive and to eventually thrive in a rural setting.
Over the next three decades, my life was full of planting hundreds of trees, gutting and remodeling the farmhouse built by my grandfather, making porcelain pots, painting, going to countless art fairs, traveling to foreign art capitals, volunteering in local and regional arts groups, and earning a k-12 license to teach art. I have been doing art residencies for the past decade, sharing the joy I have in artistic expression with hundreds of students around the state.
