# 1 is Mary Mayhew . Her studio is in a gorgeous barn set back from the road. Don't be dissuaded by the long driveway past the farmhouse and chicken coops. Mary's barn is full of treasures. Still lifes, plein air landscapes, figuratives all rendered in Mary's wonderful impressionistic style.
# 2 is Tom Kulich in Saukville. Just a short drive from Newburg. You will find Tom and his art. Whimsical, fun, engaging that is Tom and his wonderful creations in mixed media.
# 3 is Renee Schreiner in the Lake Michigan town of Port Washington. Mary's acrylics capture her travels and her love of Wisconsin and is well worth the stop. A short drive east from Saukville on Hy 33. And while in Port Washington, you should stop at two of our sponsors. Gallery 224 is right on the Lake Michigan and the Port Washington port and Vines to Cellar is the perfect spot to have a rest and enjoy their wine. They are offering a buy one get one for the tour!
If you still have energy, continue on to Grafton. Stop at # 4 to see Jeff Austin and his wood working studio. Jeff has both the practical and exquisite ! This is not your run of the mill HG TV word- working shop. Jeff is always happy to demonstrate how his hand tools work their magic.
And then close by is # 5. Al Buss's studio with Jeremiah Backhaus set up on the lawn under a tent with his fire and forge. You won't be able to just spend a couple of minutes with these two guys ! Creativity in 3 D ! If you have kids along, you may need to bribe them to leave the fire and Jeremiah.
