About

The gallery exhibits fine original art in a variety of mediums---oil, pastel, acrylic, and watercolor.
Art has long been an important part of Alyce Hoban's life. She opened Treeline Gallery 17 years ago to represent area artists as well as several Grand Rapids artists.



An interesting series of unforseen coincidences led to her gallery ownership. Although art was always a calling she once held a sales position selling cleaning products, offering the best price janitorial supplies for a large national distributor. One day, while visiting the Michigan state fair, she happened upon an open air exhibit of a mechanical slide created by artist Johan Selim. The project involved large plastic polar bears that slid down an incline and onto a long smooth surface. Johan was looking for a way to improve the motion and had discovered that a small amount of liquid dishwashing detergent worked well, but he had used up his meager supply. Alyce, of course, just happened to be carrying a sample case full of dish soap, and so she offered it to Johan. That was the start of a lifelong friendship with an influential artist who was able to convince Alyce to devote more time to art. A miniature version of the slide was one of the first displays at Treeline. This is a wonderful story of how cleaning products, and especially dish soap, led to the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.

Frequent trips to Greece and southern California have opened new artistic vistas and enabled the discovery of many new and upcoming artists. Treeline shows work from well known Greek and California artists.

Violet Freeland

Violet strives to grow daily as an artist, seeking to see the subject differently and render it in a manner worthy of its glory. This is most difficult and a continual challenge to her as a responsible artist. Her desire is to connect through her art, the viewer, with feelings of pleasure, satisfaction, and hope. Hope through seeing the goodness and beauty in life. Beauty that exists in nature, in people, and in things both living and man made. Beauty transforms the human spirit.

Kathleen Kalinowski

“Whether working on-site or in my studio, the pattern of light and shadow is the first thing that draws me to a subject. My intent is to capture the sense of the place. The relationship of elements, quality of light, atmosphere, and color harmonies create a visual poetry that I seek to express in my work. My hope is that the viewer will be left with a feeling of pleasure and another understanding of how beautiful our world can be.
