A.D. Hogan is a local artist in Eau Claire, WI focused primarily on reclaimed wood mosaics. He works out of a home based studio and enjoys exploring the landscapes represented in his paintings. He enjoys a good philosophical discussion and using art as a medium to call people toward living a better story. 

Reclaimed Wood Mosaic. Each piece of wood within the mosaic is hand cut on a scroll saw and colored with oil based stains. The individual pieces come together to form an impressionistic landscape.

A.D. Hogan is artwork to repurpose our waste and reconnect us to the wild. Each statement piece is created with dozens to hundreds of handcrafted pieces of reclaimed lumber. Art calls us to slow down and anchor us to those transcendental values of goodness, beauty, and truth found right here on the earth around us.

I make a wide variety of functional pottery mainly table/kitchen ware but also decorative pieces. I hand throw each piece using my own stoneware clay body. I formulate my own glazes & use the double dip method of glazing & I use a resist medium for designs. I fire electric to cone 9. All my pottery is food safe.

At heart I am a functional potter. I throw all of my work on the wheel from stoneware clay. After the pot is thrown I frequently add slip texture to create a sense of movement and channels for my glazes to run and flow. Each piece is carefully trimmed to a finished form which is as elegant as it is functional. My glazes are hand brushed and layered to ensure beautiful outcomes which are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the touch. I fire all of my work in an oxidation environment which allows me great control of the temperatures necessary to achieve the work I envision.

The Art Of Karri Jamison
Hillsboro, WI
2023 Booth #68

    Karri Jamison is a professional nature painter who’s unique style of art merges two painting genres: abstract expressionism and realism. She refers to her style of painting as “Whimsical Nature”.  Her work features stark black and white backgrounds combined with meticulously hand drawn and painted nature iconography.    Karri’s use of clean precise lines and highly detailed brush strokes gives her work a modern edge.  Her current series of paintings feature the birds and woodlands of the Midwest.  Each painting starts with an idea or scene inspired by Karri’s observation of nature and her imagination.  She doesn’t work from a photo. All of the scenes in Karri’s paintings are her own composition. Often, clients ask Karri if her work is digital or photography.  While flattering, the truth is, no.  Every inch of each painting is meticulously drawn and painted free hand.  The average time it takes Karri to create a painting is 200-600 hours.  It takes an enormous amount of dedication, patience, and skill to achieve each painting. The only tools she uses to create her highly detailed birds are:  acrylic paint, graphite pencil, and paint brushes only 3 to .5 millimeters in diameter.

Karri’s favorite subject matter to paint is birds and trees.  In fact, she considers herself a “bird-nerd” and often can be found traipsing through marshes, woodlands, and prairies looking for birds to study and paint. “Birds are a huge part of my life.  Each bird has a unique personality that I try to capture in my paintings. The patterns on their feathers are so intricate…I can’t help but enjoy the challenge and beauty each bird represents.”

Karri graduated from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee-Peck School of The Arts in 2007 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Painting & Drawing.   Since graduation, Karri travels around the Midwest showing her artwork in museums, galleries and at fine art shows.

Handmade, one of a kind, silver jewelry using self polished gem stones & original designs. I use piercing as my main technique. It's the process of cutting out a design in metal with a jewelers saw by hand. It is a lengthy process using a blade the size of a horse hair, but yields a cleaner, crisper image as apposed to etching or stamping. I learned this process in undergrad at the University of WI- Milwaukee where I got my Jewelry and Metalsmithing degree. I design in a style that is close to my heart. Inspired by the first people of this land and the spiritual elements that accompany that way of life. All of the work that features animalistic iconography has an ancient story behind it. A mythology that has been handed down for thousands of years. I accompany those images with polished gemstones. Connecting with a love that I have had since childhood. The first collection I ever had was a rock collection. Rocks and minerals have always fascinated and memorized me.

I begin my pieces with color exploration and then the patient creation of confetti and layering. I heat, cold work and sculpt with multiple 24 hour fusing cycles. My inspiration comes from how a piece may be interpreted by others therapeutically or energetically. I adore playing with light and reflection and bringing color to life with the translucent and opaque nature of fused glass to create original art glass.

"Wood is like working with people. Each piece is unique with a mind of it's own. The challenge is to discover and then uncover that inner beauty that lies within. As with the process of getting to know a person, working with a piece of wood is exciting as the discovery of the unique qualities reveal themselves before your eyes.

Of the woods available, I am passionate about working with local native species found in weather damaged trees, firewood from my own back yard, and other "urban salvage". They can come in such an extreme and unexpected variety, from understated yet sophisticated quality to sensationally spectacular. In itself, every piece is Nature's work of art. It is my task to assist in the unveiling of the piece to that next level."

2023 Booth #103

Jamie Heiden lives in the beautiful Driftless area of western Wisconsin. For as long as she can remember, she has been a collector of images. She stores them in her mind; she captures them with her camera. For her, pictures really can tell a story. Life’s simplicity is her inspiration and conveying that story is her goal. 

Jamie is a photographer first. But when she sits down at her computer, the beginnings unfold. Her finished images contain multiple photographic layers using tasks once performed in the darkroom, now tools she has at her fingertips on the computer.  What would have taken hours years ago can be done and then undone in half the time, not necessarily making the completed process any shorter but allowing for ten times the amount of experimenting within.  

All of her work contains multiple photographic layers combined digitally. She works on each individual layer.  Of course all images are Jamie's and no filters are used in the process. The end result is an image ever-so-slightly removed from traditional photography.
