“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.”

Please welcome Pamela Grabber to her first year on the Tour!

“Whether it’s vegetables and flowers grown in my garden, familiar domestic objects, or landscapes I visit, my personal connection to those things is what inspires me. I’m especially interested in capturing my place in time through the medium of paint as I explore the timeless images of garden, beach, forest, field, or sunset…”

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.

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!
