Not only are Rebekah Kitzmiller and Bryce Hieber first cousins, but they have several things in common with each other. Both are from New Haven, both are friends of my son, and both have an eye for composition and color in their artwork. Rebekah is moving on to major in art education at the University of Saint Francis and Bryce to engineering at Purdue University. They each offered one of their favorite pieces for the 2013 West Central Home and Garden Tour.
Rebekah’s Pluck is an original pastel creation. It can be seen more clearly with prints for sale on her Fine Art America page.
Bryce captured the restored New Haven train depot with A New Lease on Life (pictured at the top of this post). This is near and dear to our hearts because we watched a dedicated group of folks raise funds for the past 10 years in order to rescue this historical landmark.
Both of these artists have a host of options open to them in whatever they choose to do. I hope creating more works of art is at the top of their lists.
