Steve Wirtz is an award-winning papier mache’ sculptor. He often creates sculptures that have humorous themes. Steve creates his sculptures in his Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based studio.
In Steve’s words; “I guess I’ve always had a fear of being boring; and stepping on something icky while wading barefoot. The medium I work in alleviates my first fear. My art explores the second. My current sculptures are the result of 20 years of experience with laminated paper (a form of papier mache’) techniques. It gives me great reward to make people laugh. When a collector tells me how they smile every time they look at their Wirtz original, I realize what keeps me going, and why I keep taking my shoes off before stepping in the creek.”

This is NOT your grandma’s embroidery! Sarah Hemm has a style that is unique, hip, interesting…makes you wonder what the heck she was thinking while, with no pattern- all free style, stitches away on the hoop. Every piece deserves a closer look. Make sure to stop by her artist reception Friday, March 9th, 6-9 for your viewing pleasure! Beer and wine will be served:)
