Featuring Katie Truemner Bruessow & Mitchell Truemner

 We are delighted to feature the large-scale paintings of this exceptionally talented family in our Bayliss gallery.

Katie Truemner Bruessow attended Kendall College of Art and Design with a BFA in Illustration and a focus on Furniture Design. After graduating Katie worked in the mass production market in both home furnishings and painting, selling to companies like Ashley Furniture and Jeffrey Alans. Painting has always been the core of Katie’s creative work. Her creative process is set free by her loose style which is often reflected in her favorite subject matter - nature.

Mitchell Truemner attended Delta College with an art concentration in the late 70s. He has been the featured artist in Traverse City’s Michigan Artist Gallery and the Traverse City’s Opera House. Truemner’s abstract paintings evoke a sense of spirituality. He is greatly influenced by the wooded areas of northern Michigan, as well as the painters Joan Mitchell and Brian Rutenburg. On exhibit through 3/31.
