Kathy Ness
KNess Designs is the result of my passion for upcycling and creating beautiful and unique clothing and other useful items. I use recycled materials to create one of a kind pieces that are both stylish and sustainable. Each item is handmade with love and attention to detail, and I strive to make the world a better place by reducing waste and giving new life to pre-loved items. I invite you to browse my collections and join me on my mission to create a more sustainable future.
I retired from the Northfield Public Library 8 years ago and am enjoying following my creative passions and volunteering.
Gerald Hoekstra
Gerald Hoekstra is a resident of Northfield. Before retiring to a life of birding and photography, he was Professor of Music at St. Olaf College. As a photographer, he focuses primarily on wildlife, especially birds, but also on landscapes and architecture. The photographs in this exhibit come from three different trips to Ecuador, including one to the Galapagos Islands (which belong to Ecuador). Hoekstra has birded and photographed wildlife in South America, Central America, Europe, and South Africa, as well as throughout the U.S. and Canada. His photographs appear in Bob Janssen’s Birds in Minnesota, Kim Eckert’s A Birders’ Guide to Minnesota, The Hummingbird Handbook, and the recently released monumental volume The Breeding Birds of Minnesota (U. of MN Press), as well as in several birding apps. They can often be seen on the home page of the Minnesota Ornithologists’ Union (moumn.org) and in Minnesota Birding, the newsletter of the MOU.
