I am a woodturner who specializes in hybrid art pieces combining wood, resin, and inlays.

Marta captures the mystery and beauty of her Slavic roots in her nostalgic depictions of the Polish wilderness and folklore. She combines impressionist acrylic painting with sculpture and epoxy to capture the mystery and beauty of nature, as a homesick love letter to the fairy tales of her homeland.

When she's not busy pouring epoxy and covering the kitchen floor with glitter, she doubles as a wedding makeup artist, emphasizing Slavic makeup styles. She also watches anime and K-dramas, goes to the gym, enjoys nature, and plays board games with her husband.

The natural world calls to me. It's beauty and spirituality, the wonder of creation itself is my muse. I use the gifts of nature to create my art. The magical material of wool and silk help me express the living world in sculpture and pictures.

Contemporary folk art and sculpture.

Howard Haas is an artist woodworker - furniture designer working in traditional and contemporary styles. For more than a decade, he has been producing an assortment of hardwood functional objects. Unique gifts and furniture for everyday use.

I am a lifelong artist whose practice is rooted in fine art and shaped by decades of work as a graphic designer, illustrator and creative director at my own 12-person firm in Milwaukee.

Trained at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, my foundation in drawing, composition, design, and visual storytelling continues to guide my work.

As a creative director, drawing was part of my daily work. I translated ideas into visuals—whether for consumer packaging, photo shoots, or brand systems—so board members and marketing teams could clearly understand my ideas.

​Working both en plein air and in the studio, I am drawn to unusual juxtapositions, overlooked details, and moments that reveal subtle narratives. I’m interested in the unconventional—objects, places, and scenes that are often passed by, yet carry meaning and history. Through careful observation and deliberate composition, I aim to give these moments clarity and presence.

My work is held in gallery, private, and corporate collections nationwide.

“Every canvas is a journey all its own” – Helen Frankenthaler
My work is a response to subjects that are often more felt than named, filtering out the need for illusion and representing the essence of animage, pre-verbal. Tapping into unconscious memories, a halfway world, leads to abstract shape, textures, colours, and marks in my art; this evokes the impressions of the internal and external landscapes we have travelled.
My paintings are a study of the mystery that is our understanding and experience of Nature that is bare and primal. We tend to anthropomorphize Nature, to lay our fingerprints upon it, but I search for its beginning. Texture, colour, layering, excavation, visual and physical depth play a role in my storytelling and support my deeper exploration of the natural world. I use a squeegee, palette knives, stencils, brayers, monoprinting, bold shapes, gestural lines, incision, compressed textures, and layers to achieve the intention of each piece I create.
I hope viewers see the rawness and a leave-taking of imagery that has inspired the work; colour; vitality, intuition, and depth of expression define my painting. Creative work that transports the viewer into other felt places is deeply satisfying and celebrates the forces that are often hidden to our eyes but intrinsically felt. By the time the painting is complete, much of my energy has been transformed into the painting’s layers and marks, whether revealed or obscured: they have stories to tell.

I am a potter with 40 years of experience making functional art for the home.

I am a passionate, obsessive creator! “I make because I must.” Clay is a medium that fits my very practical and messy nature while the process fills my need to be efficient and procees-oriented. Clay is movable, forgiving, messy, adaptable, and from the earth. I am inspired by the colors and textures in my life, the spirit of simplicity and practicalities. Seeing each piece come out of the kiln, doused in a rich, layered glaze speaks to me in a way that nothing else does. I care deeply about creating functional work and think everyone deserves a beautiful piece of pottery.

I design everyday, functional items for the kitchen, bath, and garden. I make it for you so you can use it.

I spend my winters creating and summers selling. Come visit me at one of the many art festivals I attend in the Cedarburg and Milwaukee areas.

His recent works re-imagine nature through resins. Exploding with vivid color and unique playfulness, Mark displays surreal worlds using sculpture and mold making to create an altered, organic and intricate beauty that is both unnatural and natural.
Mark is always expanding the capabilities of the resin medium into his artwork, creating visuals that have never been seen before.

Joan Hollnagel is a mixed-media artist. Her paintings and clay sculptures often anthropomorphize nature and life with humor and insight.
