From “Keeping an Eye on History” at the OSH 2018 White Church Jeff Abshear acrylic on canvas, no date the story | The lower section of Saugatuck along the Kalamazoo was the location of river-related industries and was a flurry of economic activity. This district of the village was called “The Flats.” Beyond is “The Hill” district—a large “respectable” residential neighborhood that developed to allow early residents an escape from the factory and shipbuilding noise, smells, and accompanying disreputable people. the art | A view from The Flats up Griffith Street, looking north up to The Hill with the Methodist Church on the left. the artist | California native Jeff Abshear moved to Michigan to attend Western Michigan University where he earned a master’s degree and stayed on as an instructor of art. Abshear is a painter, printmaker, book designer, and founder/director of the Kalamazoo Book Arts Center. SDHC Collection, gift of Kenneth R. Carls and James A. Schmiechen Accession number 2018.13.01
