  • Provide social and educational opportunities to meet and learn from artists
  • Support Creekside Place through commissions from artwork sold

Current Exhibit: Larry Schultz

Exhibit dates: May 1 - June 21, 2018
Schultz grew up in a small town in Wisconsin with a never-ending desire to see as much of his surroundings as possible. What influenced him most artistically was his love for nature and the outdoors. Sometimes studying the smallest details hidden in the grass or the grains of wood in an old barn would expand his view of creation leading him to apply what he saw to paper and canvas.

Schultz is accomplished in a variety of media including watercolor, pencil, pen and ink, and sculpture, but oil is what brings him most enjoyment. He has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors and much of his art has been featured on magazine covers, posters, specialty items and fine art prints. His work is included in public and private art galleries and has sold all over the United States, England, Belgium, Germany, Japan and China.
​
Sharing his love of art, Schultz has taught art classes, conducted painting workshops, designed murals for theaters, homes and public spaces, and participated in juried exhibitions.

Connie Glowacki
Connie says fascination with light and shadow as they define shape and textures has led her to an increasingly wider scope of subject matter. Her goal in painting is to show a time and place which enriches the viewer's life, restores positive values, informs of something new and gives a feeling of awe and joy!
​
Karen Gilbank
Karen takes inspiration from the rural countryside of Wisconsin and its animal inhabitants and then depicts her observations through printmaking. This allows her to explore different techniques, including multiple drop monotypes, relief, intaglio, and solarplates.

Lynn Barber
Watercolor batiks on rice paper. Batik is a technique of layering wax and watercolors to produce varying shades of color. Lynn uses Ginwashi rice paper, a semi-transparent paper with small fibers running through it. “This paper gives the batiks a wonderful texture and a unique natural look,” Lynn said. “The edges are deckled, which gives the batik a feathery finish.” Visit Lynn's website: naturesartstudio.weebly.com/
