My creative work is rooted in my love and appreciation for the often astounding beauty found in nature. My latest passion, botanical printing, is direct contact printing of leaves onto textiles and paper. Pigments and tannins are coaxed from the leaves with high, prolonged heat. Most colors come from natural dyes, but I have also been experimenting with the vivid colors from modern dyes, using the same botanical printing process.

I’ve been an oil painter for about 25 years now. I paint anything that peaks my interest. I’m not necessarily landscape painter, a wildlife painter, or a portrait painter. I’m just a painter. I’m inspired by things that are visually interesting, and the light that reveals them. I employ a technique that strives for accuracy and craft, but does not apologize for simply being paint on canvas

Joyce Halvorson is a Blacksmith by Barron Wisconsin. She has been forging steel for 30+ years. Most of her work is in smaller items like hooks and bottle openers and adds an artistic touch to make them both useful and decorative. Campfire tripods, wind chimes, mobiles, small tables and railings are some of the larger items she makes. “What I love about Blacksmithing, is that with just a hammer, anvil, forge and steel the variety of things that you can make, including your own tools.”

Having first been introduced to watercolor painting long ago, only lately have I had the time to paint again. Aside from a few work-shops, I have no formal training. My work is a mixture of mediums and methods that I have learned, one being the traditional approach where a reference subject is chosen with well-planned procedure to make a representational picture. On the opposite spectrum the experimental or intuitive approach is just what the name suggests- a spontaneous and expressive use of splashing or pouring the paint on the paper after which the artist slowly pulls order out of the "chaos" and builds the composition.

I remember playing with design, texture and color in fabrics since I was a toddler. Older women in my family were examples for traditional sewing. Sewing for economic and practical reasons took my family through the growth times. Now, later in life, I have time to follow my intuition to play and keep exploring. I love to take flights of fancy with utilitarian clothing and fibers such as rug materials, turning them into wearables or design accessories for expression.

 I began painting during the pandemic lockdown. I focused on the birds and nature near our lake cottage. This will be my first exhibition since 1984.

Mercer and Blake creates art inspired by nature. Scott and Renee Mercer share a passion for birds and their life at the lake in Northern Wisconsin.

My “Nelly’s Bags” are handmade often using canvas, home deco, leather and faux leather fabrics. These fabrics are chosen for strength and functionality with an eye towards trends in color and design. My bags reflect the style and durability of more expensive ones.
Careful design and quality of construction produces a long lasting bag with style. Many options for storage are found in these designs. Exterior and interior pockets as well as choices of handles meet the needs of most women.

Jeff Nelson is currently living in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I have lived and worked in Colorado and Florida. My artistic journey began as a youth. Under the nurturing wing of grandparents and parents I was encouraged to express and experiment with drawing and painting. My earliest remembrance is of Rosemaling at the kitchen table with grandparents and other relatives. My formal education included the University of Wisconsin where a BFA was achieved. Also, extension courses at the University of Saint Thomas and University of Florence, Florence, Italy were completed. I have no specific medium of choice. However, much time has been spent with watercolor. Currently, I am working with cold wax and paper constructions. My work has appeared at galleries in Kansas City, Minneapolis and St Paul, Minnesota, Naples, Florida and smaller galleries around our region. I am currently a member of The Valley Art Association, Pablo Center, Heyde Center for the Arts, and the Association of Wisconsin Artists. The act of creating gives meaning to living each day. Because of this I consider myself fortunate to be an artist.

Art has always been a passion of mine, however, it has been just recently that I have rekindled that passion and pursued creating my art. My high school art instructor strongly advised me to major in art, but due to situations in my life at that time I was unable to go in that direction. I am self taught. I have always enjoyed drawing and have been working with colored pencils. My subject matter is primary nature (landscapes, floral, etc) that showcases the brillance of color and the unique composition that nature provides.

Paul started creating pottery and tile after a career as a Swiss trained pastry chef and food technologist. Transitioning from the pastry arts to pottery was a natural transition as many of the techniques used in the pastry arts transferred easily to pottery and tile.
He has worked in porcelain, for tiles, stoneware and earthenware for pottery. The majority of Paul’s glazes are made from scratch. The garden inspired pottery uses glazes that crawl and run freely. Learning the way the glazes run and mix in the kiln has been a continuing adventure. 
He is influenced by the free forms and colors of Mexican street pottery. No two pieces are exactly the same and the individuality of the artist is celebrated. Paul enjoys making colorful pieces for the garden, from bird baths and bird houses to decorative garden pieces. Each piece is one of a kind and carefully hand crafted with intentionality.
