Emily Beynon Featured Artist at Postma Center Leep Art Gallery
A new exhibition by visual artist Emily Beynon will open April 8, 2009 at the Bruce and Mary Leep art gallery in the Postma Center on the main campus of Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services. This exhibition will run until July 7.
Titled “Cry Out,” the show represents the deep exploration of the artist finding her voice in watercolor. The paintings she has chosen to share at Pine Rest each encompass a testimony to the omnipresence of the Lord.
Beynon was a member of the Grand Rapids Watercolor Society and now she is on the Advisory Board of City ArtWorks, a non-profit art education organization in Houston.
Emily Beynon graduated from Albion College in Michigan with a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Studio Art. While enrolled in post graduate studies at Eastern Michigan University in the 1970’s, she studied watercolor and discovered her artistic connection with God. In the late 1980's Emily earned her Masters in Social Work degree from The University of Houston. Through her work as a clinical social worker she was privileged to be present with people in their suffering, in their struggling, in their hope and in their healing. Out of this profession Emily was given the sight to express the emotional, physical and spiritual depths of the human experience through her paintings.

Jonathan Quist Featured Artist at Postma Center Leep Art Gallery
On July 8 Jonathan Quist’s new exhibition will open at the Bruce and Mary Leep art gallery in the Postma Center on the main campus of Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services. The exhibition will run through October 6, 2009.
The artist’s exhibition is titled “Suburban Faith.” The exhibit, featuring paintings, explores the inherent clash between the hopes, dreams, and ideals of suburbia and the weight of following Christ. The artist hopes the exhibition challenges people to examine their own faith.
Quist graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Calvin College, majoring in Ceramics and in 2001 with a Bachelor of Arts from Calvin College, majoring in Art Education. Quist is now in the process of completing a Master of Fine Arts at Kendall College of Art and Design. Currently, Quist works as an art teacher at Grand Rapids Christian High School.
