A Suburban L.A. Home Is Updated With Art Gallery Vibes

AFTER: The team imported Italian terrazzo by Marmi Scala for the floors and chose marine-grade plywood as a more casual contrast for the ceiling, stairs, and millwork.

Sam Wadieh

AFTER: “We introduced three sets of identical sliding doors, and when they’re open, the exterior spaces become an extension of these family rooms,” Jeff says.

Brandon Stanley

“We solved this home’s challenges by embracing some of its largest obstacles, like the central staircase and the living room’s volume,” Kristin says. “We also found that by exposing some of these elements, such as the beams in the living room, we could better define the new spaces.”

BEFORE: The existing kitchen was moved completely to the other side of the ground floor, which made it easier to see the backyard pool from the new living and dining areas.

AFTER: The new kitchen is much more open to the rest of the house, and its sleek white appearance allows the terrazzo and plywood to shine.

Brandon Stanley

Once the new floor plan was in place, Jeff and Kristin received guidance from one of the owners, an art dealer, to incorporate a stunning suburban style. With the trio of the new sliding doors to the backyard and a handful of skylights overhead, they all agreed the design should be airy with enough interesting objects and materials to catch the eye. “We were interested in a mix of high and low materials,” Jeff says. They imported Italian terrazzo by Marmi Scala for the floors, which has a formal finish that contrasts with the casual feel of marine-grade plywood they hand-selected after reviewing dozens of sheets. “We also detailed the plywood to express their character, like exposing the edges of the sheets and using their thickness as a module for the millwork,” Jeff continues.

AFTER: The bathrooms got sleek upgrades with white walls and simple square tiles.

Sam Wadieh

AFTER: The wood accents in the cabinetry continue in this bathroom, too.

Brandon Stanley

It’s been two years since this renovation was completed, and the owners have been proud to present a twist on midcentury modern to their street. Jeff and Kristin can’t help but feel that neighborly love, too. “We connected really well with these owners,” Kristin says. “We were happy to tackle such a challenging project for their family.”

BEFORE: The existing pool was still a crowd-pleaser, but the renovation would make it more modern.

AFTER: A new coat of paint and a sleeker landscape job gave the exterior a much-needed upgrade.

Sam Wadieh

AFTER: The backyard also has a sitting and dining area beside the pool on artificial grass, making maintenance a breeze.

Exhibit of Nature Gone Wild Photos Opens in YMCA Community Gallery

Photographer and Northbrook resident Michael Greenberg returns to the North Suburban YMCA’s Community Gallery in December with a new exhibit of photos entitled “Nature Gone Wild.” The exhibit captures the power of Mother Nature, unleashing scenes of motion, intense colors, textures, and astronomical/weather wonders. The high-resolution framed photographs are for sale and could make a great holiday gift. A portion of the proceeds benefits the Y’s Visual Arts Program.

When he travelled to Argentina in 2020, Greenberg captured images of Iguazu National Park Waterfalls that dwarfed Niagara Falls. Cruising off the coasts of Argentina and Chile offered unique “nature gone wild” images of a breaching whale, flying fish, squawking and cuddly magellanic penguins, melting glaciers wildlife, and glacier photos.

In the past, extended stays in Europe, Asia, and Israel allowed Greenberg to capture distinctive images from unusual angles, during both day and nighttime. He received a PhD in Chemistry and worked as a scientist and Research Director for over 36 years in the food industry. Thirty years were spent working for the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company. As a high-level scientist/manager, he travelled internationally to meet other scientists and sponsor research in their laboratories. His photo gear went on all the business trips.

“I have a lifelong passion for capturing landscape and travel images that provide sensory cues triggering memories of past experiences,” commented Greenberg. “This is known as “Imagetripping.” These images bring back the aroma, tastes and visual stimulus of the moment the image was captured. I weave distinctive lighting and composition with vibrant colors through the intersection of subject, weather, and astronomical conditions. My mission is to share my work so others can enjoy these experiences.”

The North Suburban YMCA’s Community Galleries support the local arts community by giving it a place to show and sell their works. For more information about the gallery contact Cathie Winnie at cwinnie@nsymca.org.

New art gallery brings opportunity for artists, art lovers | Local News

OSKALOOSA — Artists in Mahaska County and beyond now have the opportunity to showcase their work at the newly-opened Envision Art Gallery.

Located in Penn Central Mall, the gallery has something for every price point, from $5 prints to $1,000 paintings and everything in between.

Owner Vera Babich decided to open the gallery after noticing a high concentration of artists and art lovers in the area.

“It is a very artistically rich and diverse community,” she said. “Since we moved here in 2009, we’ve met so many talented people and seen so much beautiful art done by them.”

SEGUE

“We needed a place where people can come any time and see [art],” Babich said. “There are so many people I know who do art but they don’t have any way to display it.”

For the artists, Envision is a chance to showcase talents that those around them might not even know they have.

Oskaloosa-based artist Julie VerSteegh is one of the five creators currently on display in the gallery.

Though many who know her know of her talents in graphic design, VerSteegh was surprised at how many people didn’t know she that she is also a multimedia artist.

“I have people who I’ve been friends with in town for 20 years who say ‘oh, I didn’t know you do art,’” she said.

Several of her paintings and illustrations can be found available for purchase at Envision.

The gallery makes it possible for Versteegh and other local artists like her to showcase their work to potential costumers or art appreciators.

The gallery also includes works by Ames-based photographer Igor Kovalenko; colorful illustrator Jane Ryder; watercolor, pastel, oil and acrylic painter Vitali V. Lobov; and Babich’s husband, Sergiu Nagorny. Nagorny’s pieces include metalsmithing, chainmaille, copper decor and “wearable art”.

Though not all of the artists are Iowa-born, each has made Iowa their home. Many of the pieces on display from each of the artists represent or show recognizable Oskaloosa and Iowa scenes.

“A lot of times art means more to people if they have a connection with it,” VerSteegh said.

Whether it be a print of the Oskaloosa City Square’s band shell or a one-of-a-kind jewelry piece, Envision Art Gallery has something for everyone.

“For a small town like Oskaloosa, there’s a lot of things happening in the community to support art,” Babich said. “There are people who create art and there’s just as many people who want to see art. I thought we needed to be that connection between the artists and the audience who is interested in art.”
