Britton, Custer & Gravenslund
This February, the Gallery at the Park presents an exciting new 2D and 3D exhibition featuring art from Anna Britton, Arlene Custer, and Victoria Gravenslund!
Anna Britton is an expressionist artist whose work reflects her fascination with humanity and societal structures. She often focuses on portraiture, exploring themes of isolation and solitude.
With an academic background in sociology, anthropology, and criminology, Britton strives to merge her expertise in social sciences with her artistic pursuits.
“I feel a profound freedom to explore humanity's imperfections and prefer to depict its raw, unvarnished realities,” Britton says.

Arlene Custer found her passion for pottery in retirement, exploring the versatility of hand-built soft slab clay. She enjoys using techniques like mono-printing to create one-of-a-kind designs.
Guided by a spirit of discovery, Custer experiments with different shapes, glaze combinations, and surface decorations to create both functional pottery and elegant decorative pieces.
“The process isn’t precise and that’s my favorite part,” Custer says. “Each piece is unique and fun.”

Victoria Gravenslund is a ceramic artist who uses techniques such as raku, sagger, and stretching the clay. Each technique is unique, playful, and unpredictable.
Whether creating or teaching, Gravenslund finds joy in exploring new ideas and sharing knowledge.
“Most importantly, all of my work regardless of the technique,” Gravenslund says, “is designed to be enjoyed visually and enrich one’s surroundings.”
