Our anniversary show celebrating 15 years of Hatch Art House is up in the gallery for one more month.
15 years ago Tammy Schreiter (owner/curator) opened Hatch Art House’s doors for the first time on December 3rd, 2010. Over the years Hatch has showcased the work of well over 100 Wisconsin based artists, bringing art from all over the state to our gallery on Willy St.
As Tammy wrote in the first ever post on the Hatch website in December 2010, “Hatch will display a wide variety of artwork at a broad range of prices, offering something for everyone. It’s sure to be a vibrant space, full of fun, beautiful and unique hand-crafted items and fine art.”
We’ve stuck to our goal of creating a welcoming space where there’s something for everyone and art is local and accessible. And we couldn’t have done it without our artists. This show is a celebration of 15 years of Hatch Art House, our artists, and the great state we call home.
Here’s to 15 years of Hatch Art House!
Read more about participating artists below and stop in to see the show in person!
Molly Bandt is a children’s book author, illustrator, and painter who creates color-rich semi-abstract landscapes and images inspired by urban and natural environments. Working in both traditional and mixed media, she uses expressive shapes and layered hues to evoke mood, movement, and a sense of place.
Jenny Blasen creates mugs, incense holders, yarn bowls, and more. Many of her pieces feature the shape of Wisconsin as well as various animal and floral patterns, all colored with rich glazes.
My artwork pays tribute to the convergence of the past and present, the imagined and the tangible, the overlooked and the enduring. I am fascinated by the physical changes and the marks left by the passage of time in us and our environment.
My art is deeply inspired by the lush landscape and cool blue waters of the Midwest. As a Wisconsin native, I love to “get out there” with acrylic and other water soluble paints to create layers of vibrant color and playful textures, capturing what I see and feel, all while exploring the land and beauty in unexpected places. My art journey has brought me to a place of endless possibility and contentment, as my curiosity and creative life continue to evolve after more than 10 years of painting and mark making.
These pieces were painted for the recently released book, ‘Just One Comfrey’ written by Wisconsin Food Forest. The book highlights edible plants that can grow in our WI climate. Wisconsin is a state of edible bounty!
From Fond Du Lac, WI, Susan Fiebig uses found objects in her collages, most often various book parts including spines, bindings, and pages. For this piece created for our Wisconsin show, she also incorporated a salvaged slide to frame her collage work.

Michael Gustavson
Madison, WI
While some of Michael’s work showcased at Hatch is influenced by his background in architecture and depicts some specific Wisconsin locations, this piece shows off his more abstract style of painting.
My ceramics are rooted in a clean, modern, functional aesthetic, with each piece made to feel intuitive and comfortable in the hand. I explore form and surface with intention, creating objects that are visually calm and satisfying to use. Through simplicity and thoughtful design, my work is meant for everyday use and quiet moments of connection.
I’m an independent artist skilled in a variety of media. I specialize in illustration, printmaking, and fiber art. I love to use humor in my art to not only bring joy and laughter, but to also tackle hard-to-talk-about subjects such as otherness, body positivity, and mental health.

Mel Kolstad is an artist, speaker, instructor and arts advocate. She is a printmaker, collagist, dyer, and papermaker, specializing in artwork relating to the forest and wooded spaces.
I love color, pattern, and flowers the most. Snark and swear words are my second loves. My artwork is like a sweet little girl who turns into a sailor with a filthy mouth.
I am a monochrome artist who works in ink, watercolor, and Linocut printmaking. My work focuses on imagery which provides a coping mechanism for painful chronic health conditions and my fears of death and disability. The animals and plants in my work are symbolic of how nature can be a source of escape and healing.
These pieces are meditations and talismans (if you like) to remind and prompt us to keep a deep connection with self. With the hope we might show up for others, our community, the world more authentically ourselves. With more passion, joy and light to share.
I take great inspiration from the world around us, namely that of nature and the details within it. I enjoy capturing the feeling of appreciation and wonder that the world can evoke, especially in small, every-day ways.
Tammy is Hatch’s owner & curator and an artist too!

Jay Solwold
Madison, WI
I put natural and human made objects that I’ve found or been given together in my assemblages. I try to make combinations of different things that create something interesting and amusing. I think the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

My work is an exploration in the arrangement of color and pattern by exclusively using 1 inch leather triangles to construct each composition. The triangles are made with 100% genuine leather that is procured from upcycled and new sources. This simple framework for creating continues to yield new ideas and inspires me daily!
I focus on oils and watercolors and aim to explore the intersection between nature and cities. Madison lends itself particularly well to my style, and since moving here in 2022, I have loved looking for new corners and side streets to portray.
