Rhonda Grudenic

Her work is ghostly and ethereal. But there’s a spiritual quality to it as well. And while Rhonda likes to have control of most things in her life…she gets her best results in painting when she “lets go” and follows her instincts!
Fashion Designer Kayla Kennington

Kayla Kennington has been creating one-of-a-kind silk clothing and Showpieces for galleries, individual clients and shows for over 30 years.

Kayla’s patterns have no facings, no zippers, and no buttonholes, and lots of creative potential.
