Exhibition Statement:

The Peoria Art Guild proudly presents Cows in the Gallery, a summer exhibition that playfully celebrates craftsmanship, character, and creative expression through clay, canvas, and form.

Nancy Bass, our cover artist, is known for her intuitive and emotionally resonant paintings of animals. A Signature Member of the American Women’s Artists, Bass captures the spirit and presence of her subjects through vibrant, expressive strokes.

Paul Eshelman contributes a refined collection of functional pottery. Eshelman elevates the daily act of eating and drinking, bringing human dignity and thoughtful design to everyday rituals.

Sandra McKenzie-Schmit, a nationally acclaimed artist, presents a delightful body of work that fuses sculpture and pottery. Her imaginative pieces balance form and function, inviting joy through playful shapes and textures.
