Aileen Musa joins us for her first Spring Art Tour in 2021

Please welcome Aileen Musa to her first Spring Art Tour!

Musa writes on her site aileenmusaimages:
I was inspired to hand paint my photos by a hand painted black and white image of an English garden, by Wallace Nutting. It was a wedding gift to my grandparents in the early 1920’s. This image, my inspiration, now hangs in my home.

Susan Mendenhall joins the Spring Art Tour for 2021

Please welcome Susan Mendenhall (and JazzArt) to her first Spring Art Tour!

My artist name is Jazz and my artwork is known as JazzArt.

JazzArt is about simplicity – simple lines, simple patterns, simple colors, simple subjects – all to create a simple elegance. What brushstrokes bring whimsy and delight? What designs invite intrigue? What colors are the storytellers? JazzArt takes the ordinary and makes it extraordinary.

“Landscapes, woodlands, fauna, flora, people past and present and in dreams, I create, paint and make things on a whim or an idea I have pondered. I am and always will be a life-time seeker of curiosities.”

Vicki France returns for her 8th Spring Art Tour

Vicki France returns for her 8th Spring Art Tour

Vicki France is back for the Spring Art Tour for 2021!

France never stops working—she is always photographing whether at her home in Hawaii or her home here in the Driftless Region. She captures the magic of the place no matter where she is. The thing we love about her photos of the Driftless is that we recognize this place we call home, but in Vicki’s eye, her captured frame, it is a glorious wonderland. Her images make us smile and even get emotional at the beauty of her vision, this place we call home.

Vicki France Photography, Soft Spring Air 05-02-21

Here are some recent photos from France’s social media posts. You too can experience the lush beauty of our Driftless region when you drive the Tour yourself, and you can see these images up close in all of their radiant beauty, in person this June 4-6 at the Spring Art Tour!
