UPCOMING SHOW PREVIEW / RJD GALLERY
Ongoing Romeo, MI1 2M
aking art accessible to everyone regardless of
their budget is something that RJD Gallery in
Romeo, Michigan, has been pursuing. As an artist’s
value rises in the marketplace, however, some collec-
tors can be priced out of affording their paintings. They
then turn to prints or small-scale artwork to be able
to hang works by their favorite artists on their walls.
Recently, RJD Gallery has announced a new venture
with two of its top artists, Andrea Kowch and Kris
Lewis, to make some of their most recognized paint-
ings available to a larger audience.
“For years, admirers have asked both Andrea Kowch
and Kris Lewis to offer reproductions of some of their
most iconic works at a more attainable price point. In
response to this growing demand and the continued
success of these acclaimed artists, RJD Gallery will
debut an open edition of numbered prints, of only 500
each, of a few selected works from each artist,” saysgallery principal Richard Demato. “These quality prints
are ideal for both the beginner and seasoned collector
and make perfect gifts, especially with the holiday
season fast approaching.”
From Kowch, collectors will find open edition prints
of her paintings Sojourn, Light Keepers, Pecking Order
and In the Distance, which have sold out or are close to
sold out in hand-signed, numbered and framed limited-
edition versions. Collectors wanting the chance to own
these popular works is what prompted Kowch and the
gallery to select these specific works to reproduce in
larger quantities. The artist is known for her beautiful
narratives that capture moments of rural life.
Explaining her influence, Kowch says, “Hailing
from the Midwest, and living and working here today,
I only continue to become more aware and stimulated
by the history, landscape and ways of life that shape the
region. There are several artists whom I admire and feelANDREA KOWCH & KRIS LEWISArt for Everyone
