Kelsey Raine Art is an emerging watercolor artist who has been painting for 5 years. Kelsey embraces the medium’s fluid unpredictability and natural tendencies as a foundation for figurative elements that evoke themes of beauty, fear, and vulnerability. Her paintings capture our relationship to nature, revealing the animalistic tendencies of humans and the anthropomorphic traits of animals.

Hi! My name is Moe, and I am a ceramic artist from Madison, WI. I have been creating with clay since 2006, and instructing ceramics for the past three years. I enjoy atmospheric firing techniques (Wood-fire, and Raku) to finish my wheel thrown and hand built pieces. I'm best known for my unique swirly handles, and attention to texture as decoration.
My work is constantly evolving as I discover new techniques and inspiration! I create the majority of my pieces to be used functionally in everyday use. You can find my work in several local artist collectives, coffee shops, and bookstores.
Linny designs and creates handcrafted freshwater and seawater pearl jewelry, blending timeless elegance with modern, wearable designs. She also offers a small collection of wire-wrapped gemstone rings/bracelets.
Working mostly with reclaimed glass, I create wind chimes, plant stakes, boxes, and one-of-a-kind gifts inspired by the beauty of nature.
My work often features butterflies, dragonflies, and fields of flowers — each piece capturing a moment of light, color, and movement. I transform forgotten fragments into treasures that sparkle with joy, renewal, whimsy, and a deep connection to the natural world.
Using art glass, fused glass, window glass, architectural glass, and more, I design and assemble each piece by hand, soldering and fusing different types of glass to bring every work to life.
For my collage artwork, I like to create my pieces in a way that's similar to scrapbooking. I like to choose my ideas by finding songs, vintage pictures, old movies, books, and events that have held meaning in my life. I am inspired to compose photography images by depicting the beautifully aesthetic nature of our world.
I am a Wisconsin-based artist with over 30 years of experience in graphic design and visual communication. My background includes work in print production, advertising, and digital design, which has given me a strong foundation in composition, color theory, and storytelling.
In recent years, I have focused on creating fantasy artwork that blends modern digital tools with traditional artistic principles. My process begins with concept development and visual exploration, followed by extensive refinement in Photoshop, where I repaint details, adjust lighting, enhance textures, and bring each scene to a cohesive, painterly finish.
My goal is to create artwork that connects emotionally with viewers and captures moments of joy, imagination, and human connection.
Alongside my work, my wife contributes handcrafted jewelry that reflects a complementary fantasy aesthetic. Together, we present a unified body of work centered around storytelling, craftsmanship, and imaginative design.
I've always been fascinated with nature, especially trees, flowers & landscapes. Ever since I can remember, I have been interested in many forms of art [and] always trying to capture nature's strength and beauty in oils, pen & ink, clay, and photography. I am a life-long resident of this area. I plan to continue creating nature's beauty through my paintings, pottery, sketches and photography.
