That area was the worst-hit in the country during the early part of the pandemic, so that meant many folks who have properties around the lake came up earlier than normal, Kilmer said.

GLOVERSVILLE Linda Hinkle will be Micropolis Cooperative Art Gallery’s featured artist for January and February. Her show is titled “Artwork Never Quite the Same.” Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, Micropolis will be unable to hold a Meet the Artists reception, but everyone is invited to visit the gallery to see the Hinkle collection of art, as well as new work by all Micropolis artists.
Educated at the University of Michigan, Hinkle earned a BFA in Design and began her career as art director at WOUB-TV, the PBS affiliate at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. For more than 45 years Linda worked in Fulton County as a freelance designer, developing materials for print, products for manufacture and sites for the web. Just a few years ago, she began to study mixed water media. Learning to be free with paint rather than controlling with a computer was a challenge for her.
