Joan Stackpole on display at Jewelers Workshop - West

Joan Stackpole came to art late in her fifties after a career as an educator when she enrolled in exploratory art classes through Blackhawk Technical College in Monroe, WI.  She is now a multimedia artist whose favorite medium is the one currently on her studio table.  Watercolor, acrylic, and pencil all have their place in her art.  She continues to expand and develop her skills as she enjoys this new avocation.

Stackpole grew up on the lakes of northern Wisconsin in the Hayward area.  Her love for the outdoors is reflected in many of her works.  Weather permitting, she paints en plein air, in her corner studio at home or the front seat of the RV while camping.  In addition to painting, she enjoys kayaking and fishing as well as RV traveling.

Stackpole's work is held in several private collections.  Her show, Northern Wisconsin Watercolors, can be seen during April 2008 at the Jewelers Workshop on N. High Point Road in Madison.  See more of her work at River Valley Trading Co. gallery in Blanchardville, WI.  She also displays her paintings at Rutabaga Paddle Shop in Madison, WI.  She is a member of the Driftless Area Artists and Wisconsin Regional Artists Association.

"Creative Spirits"

Creative Spirits is a group of ten diverse Wisconsin artists who have come together to learn, create and display their art work. 

Elizabeth Dunham

Born in 1980 in Madison, Wisconsin to a family of horticulturists, it is no wonder that beautiful flowers and landscape scenes fill Elizabeth M. Dunham’s canvases.  Needing to nurture her creative side and distinguish herself from the agriculture Industry her parents ruled, Elizabeth studied Art and Graphic Design first in Kansas, then graduated in 2003 from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  After a brief graphic design internship at the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection she started working not for a design firm but for the family company, Knight Hollow Nursery, Inc.  Knight Hollow Nursery, Inc. is a high technology, specialized plant nursery that clones high value and unique horticultural crops.  This job keeps her close to all the things she loves and inspires her to paint; her family, the plants, and the land.  Working mostly in watercolor but also in acrylic, gouache, and oil, she paints what she sees on a daily basis:  the beauty of plants, people and their relationships to the land.

Elizabeth seeks to show the realities that have ruled her life through her paintings.  “Beauty in my artwork is in the connection between me and the paint, the brush and the canvas, the water and the air.  Creating art is like creating a garden or cooking.  You have to use the correct ingredients in the way that they are meant to be used.  You cannot expect to control every way the medium behaves, whether it be paint or plant.  I cannot control the way the water and paint might flow in to the minute cracks and bumps in the paper.  I cannot control the way the paints will mix with each other.   I can simply facilitate the medium to grow in its own perfect way; just as one must do to have beauty in the garden.  Everything has a life force of its own in this world.” 

Elizabeth has had art shows across southern Wisconsin including in the Overture Center in Madison.  She teaches art classes at local gardens and is currently illustrating a perennial garden book that will be released in May, written by Roy Diblik of Northwind Perennial Farm and published by American Nurseryman.
