Oil Paintings

Artist: Sandy Cashman

August 15 - October 26th

"Moving to Northern Wisconsin has put me under a spell. I see a grove of birch trees, reflections from a kayak or even a simple a puddle in the road, and I am moved to paint. Here, more than anywhere else on earth.

I paint in oils with a limited color palette for harmony. I frequently let a complementary color “underpaint” of orange or red peek through in places to bring life and vibration to the colors. Ever inspired by the simple everyday beauty surrounding us, I choose subjects that touch my heart - or more accurately - they choose me! My goal is to share an appreciation for those magic moments that can easily escape us in our busy everyday lives."

Certain Blue

Artist: Debra Ketchum Jircik

May 16 - August 3

"I have a long history of working in hand papermaking.  For the past twelve years, I have ventured down the unexpected path of growing, researching, and learning to process indigo to dye paper and cloth.  I am captivated by the colors produced which vary from teals to aquas to blues of clear days and dark night skies.  I especially love that these blues speak to me of water.  Some pieces on exhibit include indigo studies. The others allude to my sensory encounters with a lake in Vilas County, where I've resided for over four decades, and to visual recollections of my childhood spent mere blocks away from Lake Michigan."

Debra Ketchum Jircik is a hand papermaker and incorporates indigo, natural dyes, earth pigments and stitching into her work.  She grows and processes indigo in the traditional Japanese way.     Debra lives outside of Eagle River on a small spring fed lake where she enjoys observing the seasonal changes and loves wild swimming.

Waterways

Artist: Colleen Ansbaugh

In this exciting new exhibit, “Waterways”, features local visual artist Colleen Ansbaugh, through a collaboration with ArtStart, Inc. and the Oneida County Airport.  Colleen Ansbaugh is a mixed media artist primarily utilizing paint on canvas and other times finding interpretations with textiles. Her love of life in the northern woods is often expressed in landscapes, highlighting streams flowing through the forests. Bogs and marshes are also some of her favorite subjects to study.

Colleen Ansbaugh resides deep in the Nicolet Forest with her husband and two very spoiled dogs. Daily work in her studio overlooking Otter Lake, provides inspiration. Gazing out her studio window at the trees and vegetation commonly found throughout the Northern Wisconsin region, often find their way into Colleen’s art.   Photography and sketching are an integral part of the creative process forming the ground work for many of her compositions. Hiking and Jeep off roading, through logging trails, with a focus on natural color combinations are part of her regular routine. Taking note of light changes during the day and weather, Colleen Ansbaugh strives to capture the Up North scenery.
