Congratulations to all the artists who
participated and a big “thank you” to all our volunteers for this year’s Paint Cedarburg event.

June 4 –11, 2022

Over 165 plein air artists roam our charming city of Cedarburg (and other designated areas in Ozaukee and Washington counties) capturing favorite historical structures, coffee shops and the picturesque countryside. Artists from all over work with oils, watercolors, pastels and more. Paint Cedarburg is nationally recognized as the largest gathering of artists in Wisconsin. Artists leave the comforts of their studios and spend 7 days painting outside…rain or shine. The public is encouraged to interact with the artists as they work and watch as their paintings come to life!

Andy Fletcher

www.andrewclairfletcher.com

Andy Fletcher is a full-time, artist married to still-life painter, Katie Musolff. Together they live on their farm north of Milwaukee in Random Lake, WI. Andy has paintings in pretty much every major city in this country, has won numerous awards (which he gives to his Grandma), and enjoys a solid reputation as one of the top American landscape painters today. 

​

His paintings are traditional plein air and studio work and never involve the use of photography. Fletcher’s work is thoughtful and evokes the simple beauty of rural, American landscapes. Often painting farms and historic houses, standing starkly against moody skyscapes. He uses color to draw sensations of nostalgia from viewers. His distinctive work emulates life on a family farm. 

James Hempel 

www.jameshempel.com

The artwork of James W. Hempel is inspired by everyday beauty. His paintings seek to capture the evocative quality of light as it plays across the landscape throughout the daily rhythms and broad span of the seasons. Plein air paintings and sketchbook drawings created during his travels around the country stand alone as finished works, or
may serve as studies for larger studio paintings. In addition to oil painting, he works conte, pastel, silverpoint, pencil, watercolor and charcoal. Originally from Appleton, Wisconsin, James, currently lives in Shorewood, and maintains a studio, gallery, and school of fine arts in the vibrant West Vliet Washington Heights neighborhood. He teaches workshops and weekly classes in portraiture, plein air painting, landscape, still life and figurative work. James graduated with honors in the natural sciences and fine arts from Lawrence University. As a member of the Oil Painters of America (OPA), and has had work exhibited and awarded at numerous national and regional shows. He has participated in several juried, small group and solo museum shows, and has won many awards for his landscape, figurative, and portrait work. He has won numerous awards at regional and national plein air invitational painting events. His work can be found in many private and corporate collections.

Tom Kubala
www.tomkubala.com

Architect, Tom Kubala, not only lives here in Cedarburg, but his company, Kubala Washatko Architects, is located here, too. Although Tom’s holistic architectural designs are world-renowned, perhaps you’re unaware that this quiet, unassuming man is also a talented painter. Like many painters, Tom started dabbling with a paintbrush when he was a young child and, by his own admission, this fascination with drawing and painting never left him. Plein air painting is something from which he derives great pleasure. Watercolor is his medium of choice – because it’s simple and very portable.

​

Walking to work every day as he does, gives Tom plenty of opportunity observe the play of light and shadow on a neighbor’s garden at different times of the day, a crumbling stone wall, sparkling sunlight on water, and the way Wisconsin weather creates an ever-changing backdrop for it all. His award-winning work captures thoughtful moments in time of his surroundings and the mastery of the medium. Tom’s work is frequently exhibited at the Cedarburg Cultural Center and can also be found at The Pink Llama Gallery, as well as other galleries in the area and across the country.
