Conversations on the Sugar River

I was honored to be part of this year's fall Plow Share video, “Water: Flowing Through Our Past, Present and Future. Special thanks to Karen Slattery & Mark Doremus for asking me to be a featured artist. I enjoyed working with them and learning about the history and important role of the Fox River to Waukesha and the surrounding communities. Please enjoy the video and stop in to Plowshare in downtown Waukesha for some holiday shopping.

Greetings and Happy Fall!

This past month, I once again filled my time with exploration of the North Woods.This time, I headed to Grand Marias, MN for a week-long residency at the Grand Marais Artist Colony. I spent my days photographing and sketching waterfalls scattered along the North Shore of Lake Superior. In the evening, I retreated to the warm print-shop where I experimented with color and new printmaking techniques. It was an amazing time away and great to focus on nature and my artistic practice. The bonus was meeting my studio mate and the staff at the Artist Colony.

Take a deep dive into all things Urban Sketching! This one-day workshop will walk you through all the materials and a plethora of subject matter to get you inspired.

Join artist, teacher and mentor Bonnie Schetski as she takes you on an artistic adventure learning to draw beloved animals of the wild. Each session will highlight one of our furry or aquatic friends, including a fox, raccoon, brown trout and much more. There is nothing better than drawing from real life – this is what makes these sessions so special. Bonnie will teach the step-by-step basics of breaking down complex forms into line and shape. Create effects of moment, fur and life by adding a sparkle to the eye.
