Nina Menduni-Kelson, a renowned sculptor and painter from St. Joseph, Michigan, concludes the Artist in Residence program, arriving on January 23rd.  Menduni-Kelson started her journey as an artist in the woods where she discovered both her love of nature and of creating. This beginning led her to art school to study painting and eventually to her passion of stone carving. With this residency, she returns to her first love, landscape drawing and painting.  Menduni-Kelson holds a BFA in painting from the University of Cincinnati and has studied abroad in Cortona, Italy.  She has had a steady stream of solo and group shows throughout the United states and abroad. Her work is collected around the globe and found in large scale commissions for hospitals, golf courses and corporate settings.
