Lifelong Coloma resident Evelyn Krieger (1905-1994) produced hundreds of artistic works throughout her lifetime in various mediums including watercolors, pastels, and oil paint. Twenty-five works are on loan to the museum from her grandson, Jerry Jollay. Of particular historical interest is a series of Coloma buildings painted in 1971. Krieger painted local structures such as the Dairy Queen and the State Bank of Coloma as they appeared nearly forty years ago.
A number of other works were painted at her farm located on the corner of Hill and Friday Roads in Bainbridge Township.
This temporary exhibit will be on display through September. The North Berrien Historical Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 to 4. For more information call 269-468-3330 or visit www.northberrienhistory.org.
