Warren resident, Mark Kreiss, adorns our front cover with an acrylic painting entitled, “Five Sunflowers in a Glass Vase.” Mark, a self taught artist, has happily returned to his love of painting after a hiatus of several years. He for- merly painted murals and will be doing one for his church in the near future. His love of nature and attention to often overlooked detail make his works a thing of beauty. This cover piece is cur- rently on display at The Warren Library through September. Mark invites you to visit the library and view the original when you have time. Please read his bio on page 8.
