Deb Rolfs #18 on the 2018 Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct. 12-14th

 Painting is challenging, therapeutic and relaxing for me.  I am inspired by color, and incorporate bold colors in my paintings.  I try to convey warmth, optimism and fun in my paintings.  While I love the process of painting - creating and watching the painting unfold - my greatest joy in painting is when someone else enjoys the piece.

I am the President of the Cedarburg Artists Guild.  My most recent project was to complete 70 paintings in 70 days of Cedarburg homes.  These homes, along with still lifes and landscapes, were on display in my solo exhibit, “Come Home:  the Art of Deb Rolfs,” at the Cedarburg Cultural Center from July 18 through August 27, 2017.  I was recently the winner of the “People’s Choice” Award in the Cedarburg Cultural Center’s “Third Annual Members’ Exhibit” in December of 2014, and awarded a blue ribbon in the Ozaukee County show in March 2015.  I was the CCC’s Artist in Residence in January 2015 and have taught painting classes at the CCC.  I also have three paintings in the permanent collection at the West Bend Mutual Insurance Company.

My original oil and acrylic paintings can be seen at the the Pink Llama Gallery and the Main Street Gallery in Cedarburg, WI.

Laura Weber #18 on the 2018 Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct. 12-14th

Laura Weber is a fiber artist focusing on functional and sculptural basketry. 

Laura first learned basket making like many before her, in the homes of others who shared their skills, whether out of the necessity of creating useful vessels, or a desire to pass on an ancient craft to future generations. She continues to work with traditional basketry materials and forms, yet often incorporates found objects and mixed media elements to create sculptural vessels.

Terri Lockwood #24 on the 2017 Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct. 13-15th

Terri is a mixed media painter and photographer with more recent emphasis on incorporating the encaustic method and tools to her work. As a Wisconsin beekeeper and passionate nature lover, a harmonious process has developed with continual prospects for technical diversity: waxing, scraping, carving, stamping, incising, embedding, fusing and layering.

Megan Woodard Johnson #24 on the 2017 Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct. 13-15th

Megan Woodard Johnson’s mixed media approach illustrates how a variety of moments define a total experience. The materials she uses carry the stories of learning, recording, and processing: vintage school books, ledgers, hand-written correspondence. These materials themselves each have a life and history, which is then woven into the stories Johnson tells by adding expressive layers of paint and drawing media.

Susan Burdan #20 on the 2016 Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct 7-9th

Susan enjoys representing her take on the world, either real or imagined. Using Colored Pencil, Pastels, and various media, she relishes color and the realization that all things are indeed connected.

Sharing her paintings is the other half of creating that makes it whole.

Jack Pachuta #18 on the 2015 Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct 9-11th

ARTIST’S STATEMENT: JACK PACHUTA

The world is a magnificently complex mixture of

​color, light, textures and shapes!

Look closely at what's around you and you'll see a universe of inspiration. Every day you'll find something you haven’t see before to stimulate your imagination. That's what I do via my monoprints - I make people see things they might not otherwise see.

When completing my prints, I take a non-traditional approach to my subject matter. The people, flora and fauna that provide my artistic inspiration are placed in unique environments enabling my audiences to see them in new, thought-provoking lights. The combination of traditional printmaking techniques with the craftsmanship of pencil and ink renderings creates vibrant, dramatic colors coalescing around specific textures. Each work, then, tells a story intrinsic to the subject.

When viewing my work, you'll discover an enhanced reality - tones, hues and shadows that prompt you to go beyond your existing perspective of what you're truly seeing.

At its core, artist’s challenge is to portray the usual in unusual ways and to make people see what they might not otherwise see. This is precisely what I attempt to do. Enjoy your voyage through my artwork and focus on seeing the world differently!

Susan Burden #19 on the Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct 10-12th

Susan Burden

Inspiration comes from the interconnectedness of life. Everything is alive and constantly changing. I strive to interpret that feeling in the form of pastels,colored pencil and mixed media.I hope your eyes and hearts feel drawn into my interpretations. ! My art journey started in the Midwest where I earned a fine arts degree. Moving to Boise Idaho, I experienced the High Desert mountains and

foothills. While in Boise, my artwork was featured and purchased at

several local galleries. The next chapter in my life found me discovering

the Upstate area of New York. I have had the opportunity to be in

collections in NYC and Saratoga Springs. “Nothing is as Constant as Change”...I am now happily creating in Grafton, WI. As a member of the Cedarburg Artists Guild I have been accepted in juried shows at the Cedarburg Cultural Center. I also haveworks at The Pink Llama Gallery, Cedarburg Art Museum and the Museum of Wisconsin Artists in West Bend. ! My journey continues. Sincere thanks to you for being a part of that.
