Formally educated with a
degree in fi ne art, VanGaasbeck
brings together a partnership
of glass and refl ective metal in
her oil paintings of manmade ob-
jects. Her passion for art began
as a young child. She specializes
in portraiture in charcoal and oil
paint, but also sculpts in clay and
beeswax. She teaches oil paint-
ing classes at Crossroads.
Elbert brings his photograph-
ic talents to Crossroads through
his work with refl ections.
“Having spent more than 40
years viewing the world through
the camera lens,” Elbert said that
he “has learned to see the world
from a unique and much smaller
perspective.”
Although “Refl ections” opens
