Artist Spotlight 2026 🌟 Rita Troendle 🌟 Painting 🌟 Waukon, Iowa

I am a contemporary abstract artist who captures the emotions of everyday life through my work, influenced by the rhythm of nature and my rural upbringing. My art features vibrant colors and dynamic compositions, expressing my personal experiences and feelings.

Through bold experimentation, expressive color, and dynamic linework, my art serves as a bridge between human emotion and the natural world. An intuitive painting process guides me as motifs take shape and a color story unfolds. Whether through acrylic paint or found materials, I enjoy surrendering to the process and joy of painting.

Artist Spotlight 2026 🌟 Pat Balk 🌟 Jewelry 🌟 Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin

For the past 17 years, I've been designing and handcrafting unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry using sterling silver, brass, and copper. My process combines traditional metalworking techniques like stamping, torching, soldering, and enameling, along with tools such as a rolling mill, a guillotine, and doming blocks. Each piece reflects my love for texture, detail, and individuality, transforming raw metal into wearable art with character and soul.
