With reverence for nature, Ellen's oil paintings invite you into the wilds of Wisconsin. She presents beautifully atmospheric work, creating an almost myth-like reality of a time and place of importance and power. Changing light and the colors it introduces are a personal joy and the often serene quality of scenes of untouched wonders continue as interests in her painting.

Chris medium is soft pastel. He paints in plein air competitions locally and abroad. Favorite subjects are skies, water, and people at venues and events.

Boelk creates women's accessories and jewelry from a variety of materials and processes. Most notable is her creation of hand painted leathers and custom designed branding dies to create unique textures and patterns in the leathers. Boelk is also inspired by rich, contrasting materials such as metals, gemstones and wood. Work that feels raw yet real. Strong yet feminine.

I have been painting for a couple of years since I retired. I enjoy painting with various media and a diverse set of subject matter. However, I am drawn to landscape and outdoor scenery. I am sure my art will continue to change and evolve as I learn from others and employ new techniques.

Own some art for everyday use. Handcrafted items offer a chance to own and use something unique in a world filled with the boring, mass produced clutter that we are often surrounded by. When you take your idea to Jeff he works with you to be sure you will have a piece that you can appreciate for years. From chairs to cabinets, or cutting boards to bowls, his productions will stand out and enhance your space.

Victoria is a classically trained visual artist inspired by the tradition of the European theatre. In her attention to detail and sense of style, Victoria draws inspiration from such greats as Erté, Leon Bakst and Alexandre Benouis.

She was born and raised in Moscow, Russia, receiving her Master’s in Costume and Set Design from the world-renowned Moscow Art Theatre School (MXAT). She also received vigorous training in representational painting from the Surikov’s School of Fine Art.

My pieces are one-of-a-kind hand built creations. I often incorporate found items and repurposed antiques and hardware, bring them a new life.
I love incorporating humor and expression into my works based on my experiences. The viewer is invited to add their own experiences to the work.

For as long as Carrie can remember, creativity has always been a passion in her life. A self-taught abstract expressionist artist since the late 80’s. Carrie was drawn to this type of painting when she realized that just by observing the vibrant colors in the paintings her senses and mind were stimulated and stress levels were reduced. Standing in front of a blank canvas can be very intimidating but also very exciting because of the endless possibilities waiting to be explored. Carrie says what matters most is how you feel during the creative process; how it activates your brain and feeds your soul.

My work looks towards a positive renewal of life through rebirth and social justice issues that give a voice to those without one and meaning to strive for a better life. I find my motivation as a response toward the ugliness I experienced throughout the Iraq war.

I paint to create something different from a subject that is common to you.

I love all gods creatures, they bring joy and meaning to my life. So, no surprise I enjoy painting them, along with portraiture, landscapes, and still life.

opportunities to learn more.
