Chris Huang | Artist Spotlight Chris Huang explores the connection between nature, consciousness, and the cosmos through his intricate colored pencil and ink works on wood. His art reflects a deep respect for the natural world, often weaving together mandala, plant, animal, and human imagery to illuminate the harmony within all living things. Rooted in introspection and guided by spiritual curiosity, Chris’s creations invite viewers to look beyond the surface and into the greater mysteries of existence, where art becomes a path to truth and enlightenment.
Lulu Fall | Artist Spotlight Lulu Fall is a multi-talented artist whose creativity spans music, theatre, voice, and visual art. Of Senegalese and Cameroonian heritage, she blends global rhythms with American artistry, crafting a voice that is both powerful and deeply soulful. From Broadway productions like HAIR and Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 to Detroit stages and international jazz festivals, Lulu’s performances captivate audiences around the world. Her visual art continues that same spirit: expressive, layered, and full of emotion, inviting viewers to experience the harmony between sound, color, and story.

Ashley Menth | Artist Spotlight Ashley Menth is a post-impressionist artist who transforms Detroit’s landscapes into vibrant reflections of color, light, and emotion. Inspired by the city’s spirit, her work explores themes of resilience and renewal, as captured in pieces like “Rise Above Your Situation.” As the first-ever poster artist for the 2024 Belle Isle Art Fair, Ashley continues to celebrate Detroit’s movement, energy, and beauty through art that uplifts and inspires.
Susan Clinthorne | Artist Spotlight Susan Clinthorne creates art with heart and purpose. A Mid-Michigan native, she works across watercolor, oil, collage, and installation, exploring themes of humanity and connection. From teaching in Ann Arbor to exhibiting at ArtPrize - including her powerful 100 Daily Paintings - Susan uses creativity as a bridge between people and ideas. Now a member of Chelsea Painters and the Huron River Artist Collective, she continues to inspire through art and community.
Bill Knudstrup | Artist Spotlight Bill Knudstrup creates paintings that radiate energy and emotion: visually, intellectually, and instinctively. Through color, composition, and subject, his work captures both the feeling of a specific moment and the timeless memories that connect us all. Each piece reflects his deep exploration of human experience, from joy and play to connection and reflection.
Gwyn McKay | Artist Spotlight Peaceful. Mesmerizing. Ethereal. Edgy. These words capture the spirit of Gwyn McKay’s art, where detailed realism meets bold abstraction. Each piece draws viewers into a balance of serenity and strength, inviting them to linger in her world of color and emotion. After spending time in many places - including six months on a fish processing ship in Alaska - McKay has found her creative home in Michigan, where her art continues to inspire and captivate.
Keto Green | Artist Spotlight Rooted in strength and self-expression, Green’s art reflects his journey through life’s challenges, transforming experiences of poverty, homelessness, and loss into powerful visual stories. Using found objects and unconventional surfaces, his paintings reveal a raw creativity and depth that speak to perseverance and hope. See some of Keto Green's art on display now at Gallery 100.
HISTORY
Gallery 100 was the brainchild of Glen Paulson who was a Silver Maples resident. He was an architect with his own firm, a professor in the College of Architecture and Urban Planning at U of M and the President of Cranbrook Academy of Art. He saw the possibilities in an empty hall space at Silver Maples, and the conversion to Gallery 100 was completed in 2009.
The first show featured photographs by Angie and Jim Georg (Ann Arbor) and was a huge success. The Gallery 100 was off and running with shows by local artists changing every two months. Gallery 100 developed on-going relationships with the Chelsea Painters, Chelsea Artists Guild, Ann Arbor Fiber Arts Guild, CAADY quilters and more.
Shows ranged from Birds, Bugs and Beasts which went on to show at the Frankfurt Gallery, to Motor Cycle Mamas, which included vintage motorcycles, to the Prisoners Creative Arts Project artwork and more. The Gallery 100 represents the incredible amount of talent in the region.
