Quilt Display The January quilt on display is made by Donna Fairchild and quilted by Stephanie Hinsvard with an all over snowflake pattern. "I didn’t have a winter quilt so I decided to make the quilt pattern “Starry Pines” by Kimberly Elnimo. I fell in love with the pine trees located around the edge of the quilt. I chose a beige background with for the quilt because it reminded me of winter. I liked the stars in the center because of all of the stars located in the winter sky. I love covering up in this quilt on cold winter nights."

Art Exhibit Steffan Lucas has spent the bulk of his adult life becoming familiar with the world's philosophical and religious literature--his aim being to identify and dismantle the individual elements of his own belief systems in order to rebuild himself into a self-created mythic entity. In the meantime, he amuses himself with an ever-changing mélange of activities that include writing, dreaming, information processing, and consciousness-exploration. Steffan also draws and paints, preferring the precision of graphite to accomplish his formal studies but growing increasingly fond of the striking boldness of woodcut printmaking. In his more imaginistic works, such as Enigma of the Origin, he strives to evoke a sense of the numinous by manufacturing a sense of metaphysical tension through the dynamic interplay of elusively symbolic imagery.
