Un/Inhabited Exhibition at the Overture Galleries
"Un/Inhabited" is the intersection of habitation and self. Barenz explores the link between our external surroundings and inner landscapes through daily walks near water. While Steinberg's depictions of home are in flux, embodying resurrection through destructive forces. Together, these artists evolve boundaries where water and fire merge. Exhibition runs from Dec 12, 2023 to March 10, 2024. Opening reception at the Overture TBA and scheduled for January 2024.
The Christkindlmarket at Paoli
Come join me at the Christkindlmarket in Paoli where I will be offering giftable art for the holiday season. This is one of my favorite small towns in Wisconsin. It has so much charm and is centered around the arts. Read what the organizers at Cherry Blossom Events have to say about this market:
“Immerse yourself into a good ‘old fashioned Christmas in Paoli, WI this holiday season. Nostalgia awaits you throughout the beautifully restored Creamery in this treasured small town - the perfect setting for this season’s greetings.
We truly value the important art of mindful living and taking time to slow down and enjoy the warmth and celebrations this festive time of year brings. We hope you’ll join us for some hot buttered rum, mulled wine, or a delicious eggnog around our vintage inspired Christmas celebration along the Sugar River.
Come make Yuletide traditions with us and create the magic of Christmas!”
