Kathy Newell

Kathy (Flynn) Newell grew up on Peaks Island. After leaving the Island for a few years as a young adult…it was “too boring here, I can’t wait to get away, I am never coming back” …she has been back 25+ years. While never having had a formal art education she has always been interested in creating and has taken various classes through the years. Having had to fit her crafting around a 40hr a week job she is looking forward to retiring next year and having lots more time to create!

Robert Van Der Steenhoven

Robert Van Der Steenhoven was born in the Netherlands and is a long-time resident of Peaks Island. Although primarily self-taught, Robert studied at the Portland School of Art (now MECA). He has worked in many media, but has focused on sculpture made from natural Maine stone in the last decade or so. Organic, sinous, and playful, Robert's sculptures elegantly capture the spirit of their natural inspiration. Made with hand tools and small grinders,  some sculptures can also serve as bird baths or water bowls.
