The Arbor Gallery at Kickapoo Creek Winery is proud to offer a new venue for area artists to exhibit and sell their work.

Our first artist is Tom Gross, a self-taught painter from East Peoria. His large-scale, wrapped canvas acrylic 'cityscapes' are a bold commentary of the details of our urban, architectural landscape. Although the paintings have realistic detail, the slices of perspective leave the viewer with a feeling of impressionism.

We have prints of these works available for sale- as well as some prints of his other passion, 'sportscapes'. These prints, depict the iconic baseball stadiums of our region-Busch, Wrigley and U.S. Cellular, as well as our own minor league O'Brien Field, home of the Peoria Chiefs.

Tom's art will be on display until mid-June.
