Current Exhibit
Coming Full Circle
The Glassworks of Robert Wollenhaupt
The Village Arts Factory is thrilled to present the stained glass art of Robert Wollenhaupt in his first solo exhibit, titled “Coming Full Circle.” Founder of Woolhead Glassworks studio, Wollenhaupt is a Michigan native who has developed his own unique processes to create stained glass and steel panels over the last 3 years. Utilizing his experience as a mechanical engineer, the artist uses a CNC Fiber Laser to precisely cut the steel frames that both support and frame his pieces. This pioneering technique allows Wollenhaupt to explore finishes that cannot be used with traditional stained glass art, such as powder coating, printed vinyl, and epoxy resin. Both glass and frame are thus masterfully unified into a singular expressive work.

Her present journey began nearly 25 years ago, bumped along in fits and starts, and has finally found steady footing. Martine invites you to join her as she reflects on her artistic pathway, knowing that if you follow your instincts, you can get there from here.

Upcoming Exhibit
You Can Get There from Here:
An Artist’s Pathway by Martine MacDonald
These days, you can find Martine MacDonald in her studio, where she draws, paints, and constructs mixed media pieces. Inspired by literature, mythology, and her personal history, Martine brings the concept of home and feminine identity into her art.
Although Martine’s current paintings concentrate on the figure, often using herself, family, and friends as models, the work is not to be seen in the context of portraiture. Instead, she strives to capture universal themes found in the real and mystical world of women.
This emphasis on the female figure hasn’t always been the focus of Martine’s work. For several years, she created paintings of expansive skies as seen over fields and water. However, in time, Martine felt compelled to leave behind landscape painting and concentrate on developing a new body of work.
