~It’s an Artist Feature Friday! ~

This Friday we’re featuring GLAG artist Claudia Ottinger!

“I have been painting since 2018 when I was inspired by Mid-century architecture on a trip to Palm Springs. I work in acrylics to capture a variety of subjects, with a special emphasis on Lansing landmarks past and present, vintage signs and scenes, classic cars, and cats. I also work with polymer clay and have been making and selling beads and jewelry since 2008.

"My work can be found at http://www.etsy.com/shop/ClaudiaOttingerART, and at Great Lakes Art and Gifts in Old Town Lansing. FollowClaudiaOttingerART on Facebook for new creations and updates on shows and events.”

Check out Claudia’s work featuring local Lansing landmarks in person and Great Lakes!

This Friday we’re featuring GLAG artist Roger Nowland!

Roger started making wooden pens many years ago. After a break, he started up again; this time expanding his line to include a wide variety of pens, seam rippers, keychains, razors, and more using exotic woods, acrylics and colorful laminated woods.

Roger’s line of work also includes a great selection of Cabochon jewelry items, including necklaces, keychains, earrings, and jewelry sets. Each piece has it’s own colorful design, with lots of options to choose from!
