Julie Raasch returns to the Spring Art Tour for 2021

Please welcome back Julie Raasch to her 9th Spring Art Tour!

Raasch is an experienced Metalsmith and Photographer and will be showing in her garage this year on the tour.
She writes about her jewelry: My jewelry is as diverse and individual as people are. The pieces I make are meant to be worn and enjoyed. And her Photography: I study and observe nature and enjoy looking closely. To take it apart and look at individual items in nature…. I’m always trying to push my vision and can often be seen toting my camera wherever I go, always ready when the next photographic opportunity or subject presents itself.

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.

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!
