Artists Displayed
These artists below will be displaying their artwork at The Cadallic Room inside Riverview Church.
Alejandra Soleil Pochert
My name is Alejandra Soleil Pochert, and there are a couple things to know about me: I am a 15 year old, Native-American/Mexican student attending DeWitt High School in Dewitt, Michigan. I am a mixed media artist, but I prefer pencil portraits and sketches the most. I have been making art my whole life, but with practice I started getting much better about 3 years ago. I find drawing much easier than painting, although I do like to paint. I often convey hidden messages throughout my art, ranging from political issues to the lack diversity in the arts. Someday, I hope to create more often than I do now, so I can bring my art to many different people.

Elizabeth O'Meara
Elizabeth is displaying at the Art & Craft Beer Festival for the first time as a youth artist. Elizabeth attends Haslett High School as a freshman and is an active member of Band, Choir, and art club. She has always created. Even as a child she would use her surroundings to create, whether it was molding clay into horses and creatively creating a fluffy tail out of dried flowers, or painting detailed shapes across an entire wall of her bedroom. Art has always been in her blood. She flourishes in painting, drawing, and 3-D art and is quickly developing a distinct artistic style. Her art can be found on her Instagram page.

Shawn Dyer
Throughout my life, I’ve traveled the country and lived in a variety of places. In each place, I found an outlet for my art – whether it was painting, jewelry making, creating and playing musical instruments or working in nature, art has been a major part of my life. For more than 20 years, Lansing has been my home. I love the community and opportunities here and hope to share my art with others.
Acrylic on canvas has been my latest artistic medium of choice. I use paint, fire, wind, water, and canvas to create one of a kind abstract art pieces. I experience a feeling of freedom, happiness and blissfulness while painting. Knowing that for a brief moment someone else viewing my art might experience a similar emotion is truly special. I appreciate and embrace every opportunity to share my art with others – whether it be giving paintings to friends and families or sharing them for charitable events and fundraisers, I simply want people to smile and be happy.
Last year I had several opportunities to share my abstract creations. I had my first large scale installation on Lansing's artPATH. I was a featured artist at Katalyst Gallery in Old Town, and participated in multiple gallery shows around the state. I also led a group demonstration at last years REO Town Art & Craft Beer festival, where I was able to share my techniques with a crowd of all ages.
