Hello! I'm Julianne Hunter, also known as 'The Glittering Squid'. I'm an artist living on an 1880's farmstead in southeastern Wisconsin. Inspired by nature, I strive to express the vibrancy and rhythm of life in my work. You'll often find dashes of brilliant color in what I create, and perhaps even a little glitter!

Influenced by ever-changing patterns found in natural forms, Judith’s work expresses movement and a deep connection to nature. Her work can be abstract, intuitive, or realistic. In her studio Artscape Studio at Cedar Creek Settlement she works with various mediums which include painting ,printmaking and jewelry.

Kerri Knapp has always had a passion for painting and color. She is known for her colorful acrylic paintings, either en plein air or from photos, inspired by the landscapes of Wisconsin. She loves to make a roadside stop to capture the beauty of light in nature with a photograph for future paintings.

I create with a variety of media to capture the essence of what I love. Recently I’ve been into pen, pencil, pastels, and fiber arts. Frequent subjects of mine are outer space, everyday vignettes, and the Allen-Bradley Clocktower.

Hustedde considers artmaking a form of "self care" inbetween working full time as a high school art teacher and caring for her son. Her figurative works reference and explore femininity, motherhood, spirituality, loss and mythology. She creates in a variety of media including charcoal, colored pencil, ink and pyrography (wood burning). She enjoys portraiture of human and animal alike and keeps a side hustle as a caricature artist for events and individuals.

Bronze figurative sculpture was always my main area of concentration. Continued with silver smithing , and gold leaf enhanced watercolor.

In a world of mindless consumption, fast-paced meals in disposable dishes while on the go, Rebekah seeks to elevate the experience to transform it into a daily ritual of eating, drinking, and reflecting. Slow down, think, remember, feel, and most important “use the fancy stuff”.
She is currently working on rococo inspired functional pieces, while exploring the juxtaposition of the “ornate” and “dark”

Utilizing premium woods to create functional art.

I find the ordinary extraordinary. I will pass on the opportunity to paint a beautiful beach sunset to find my composition in the shadows it casts on the culvert in the parking lot. I paint in oil to capture the impression of real life, still life and landscape. My scale is usually large (even if my canvas is small) and my pallette is often saturated and bold. I like to play with the rules of composition which often results in my subjects falling off the sides of the canvas.

Batik eggs are a fusion of fine detail and timeless symbolism, their intricate designs brought to life through patience and precision. My work draws inspiration from traditional Ukrainian pysanky while also embracing my own artistic interpretations. Some are drawn to the meaning behind the patterns, others to the craftsmanship, but each piece offers a lasting connection to this remarkable art form.

Using gold and sterling silver and usually stones, both faceted and cabachons, I design wearable pieces of art. I was in retail stores from 1980 until 2017 making and selling my hand fabricated jewelry in Cedarburg.I’m thrilled to see one of my pieces on someone and happy to know it is being worn and appreciated!

I am drawn to paintings by their use of color and this is how I want to approach my art. I appreciate the luminescence and sometimes the ethereal quality when I use cold wax & oil. The painting is built in layers. Similar to the process of encaustic painting, but without the heat. I manipulate the wax using various palette knives, squeegees, brayers, pottery tools, dental scrapers and rubber brushes. I like to create textured surfaces and scape to reveal the layers underneath.
