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.

“I have been working with wood professionally for nearly 40 years. Previous visitors may recall my shop in Mazomanie. I relocated to my home property in rural Barneveld 2 years ago and am excited to share this new shop with you!”

Please welcome Brenda Kraemer (and Sand Hill Fiber) to her first Spring Art Tour!

Kraemer will be demo-ing fiber art being made on antique machines: “Come see socks being made on an antique circular sock machine and rug and scarf weaving on antique looms. I will demonstrate various things throughout the day and when my looms are empty, I will demonstrate loading the looms or hand spinning roving into yarn.”

“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.”
