This original collection is inspired by the many al fresco gatherings Megan Gilger has hosted over the years in our beloved Leelanau Peninsula.

"Fresh Exchange" was painted based off Megan's first Women's gathering and one of the first Simple Evenings she held after returning to Michigan and as a new mom. She gathered a small group of women in the spring to hold a dinner focused on telling stories and intimately getting to know each other. Rosé was passed and everyone left with new friends. The purest form of fresh exchange she could imagine.  

Katherine’s balance of realism and abstraction gives life and familiarity to these candid interactions, telling a beautiful story about seasonal living on the Great Lakes.  Their names are intended to sound like a conversation you’ve had with your friends and family while planning a meal or passing a dish. Like the scenes they depict, they are welcoming and casual – the perfect complement to the life and love in your home.
