During the North Woods Art Tour, visit Sandy's studio to experience the painting process firsthand, see finished artwork, and hear the stories behind the records. Dot On! Designs – Where Music Becomes Art The Story Behind the Art I discovered dot art after retiring from a career in marketing—and quickly realized I had found something special. Painting mandala-style designs on old records became a meditative, joyful process that blends my love of music, design, and meaningful connection. Each record I create is inspired by the album it once played. The colors, patterns, and movement reflect the spirit of the music, turning every piece into a visual tribute to the songs and memories we hold close. This Year’s Featured Artist: Frank Sinatra In 2026, I’m spotlighting the timeless, classic music of Frank Sinatra. His iconic voice, unforgettable songs, and signature style inspire a special collection of hand-painted records that celebrate the elegance and emotion of his music. What You’ll Experience at the Studio During the North Woods Art Tour, visitors are invited inside my studio to see how these one-of-a-kind pieces come to life. You’ll be able to: • Watch live dot-painting demonstrations • See a wide range of finished vinyl artwork • Explore the Frank Sinatra feature collection • Learn how music influences each design • Ask questions about the process and materials • Enjoy a relaxed, welcoming creative space Whether you’re an art lover, a music fan, or simply curious, the studio offers a fun and engaging experience for all ages. Custom, Meaningful Creations Many of my pieces are inspired by personal stories—favorite albums, special songs, anniversaries, or meaningful memories. I love working with people to create custom records that celebrate what matters most to them. If a particular song or artist has shaped your life, I’d be happy to help turn that story into art. Stay Connected You can follow Dot On! Designs on Facebook and Instagram for new artwork, behind-the-scenes moments, and upcoming events. My website also features available pieces and more about my creative journey. Visit During the Tour If you’re looking for something truly different on the North Woods Art Tour, I’d love to welcome you to Dot On! Designs. Come explore the art, enjoy the stories, and experience how music—especially the timeless sound of Frank Sinatra—can live on through color and creativity. www.dotondesigns.com Gallery Previous Artist Next Artist

I spend the majority of my time working in pottery and printmaking, but also create artforms using other mediums. My prints and pottery complement one another, as I use similar colors, shapes, and decorative carvings as a vehicle of expression in both media. You will find my rustic studio filled with high-fired functional stoneware, decorative primitive smoke-fired pottery, a large variety of handmade tiles and tile murals, as well as colorful woodcuts and monotypes. Each year my customers can count on seeing new items, new colors and glazes, and new shapes, as my work is always changing. I am always creating new work and giving old work a new look. My new book was just released July 2026. It is entitled “The Spirit Within Us: Understanding Our Gifts”. It is filled with my own whimsical and colorful artwork, as was my first book entitled, “Breaking Free Too: Taking a Flight With a Butterfly Toward Self-Discovery”. You can find them both at my studio, at your local book retailers, or online. I will have all of the original artwork for display at my studio during the art tours. I love the outdoors, and my outdoor activities are the creative catalyst for my work. I enjoy connecting the outdoors within my work, either by integrating actual pieces of nature as part of my work, or creating an image representing nature and the outdoors. "My art is a reflection of my life experiences, and creating is my passion. My hope is that my art brings others as much joy as it gives me to create it." Throughout the year, I typically sell my work at my own rustic showroom, in area businesses (Arlene’s Pottery & Gallery in Boulder Junction, and Cathy Bosacki’s Chocolates & More in Minocqua), and at local art shows.

He quickly fell in love with the medium and soon found himself spending as much time as possible “putzing with mud” in the Langer Ceramics Studio. The first few years of his clay journey were almost overwhelming at times, as there were so many techniques to explore and new tools or gadgets to use! After what Rob refers to as his “red squirrel on speed” stage, he settled down and began to explore hand-building geometric forms. Many glazes offer interesting color shifts on line breaks. Rob discovered that combining those glazes on the edges and corners of his geometric shapes created many opportunities for the glaze to subtly shift from one predominant color or shade to another. This led to further interest and exploration of applying glazes in such a way that they faded and shifted into one another without noticeable demarcation lines. Rob, for the most part, uses an air gun to spray glazes on his ceramic wares. This helps him “put” the glaze where he wants it, maximizing control over the thickness of the raw glaze application, offering the ability to shade and fade the glazes. Another area of interest is combining other media into a finished piece. Rob often includes glass, copper wire and most recently, has been incorporating Pine Needle Coiling to create truly unique artwork. While Rob is slowly collecting all the necessary pieces to create a home studio - he still considers himself a hobby potter and loves being a member of the Warehouse Art Center’s Langer Ceramic Studio. He presently focuses on being deliberate in his creative process - attempting to do all he can to make the piece he sees in his mind physically emerge true to his vision.

Most likely longer, and sometimes we take a day off. Text to check times. Our gallery is open to showcase the crazy works of five artists as of 2023. When you see our art, you’ll understand that our work compliments each other–a bit of whimsy–sometimes more practical. Always colorful. It is a real joy to be at a place in my life where my creativity can be a central focus. I am thankful to live in a place surrounded with the quiet beauty that helps to inspire me. On the tour, we invite you to wander through our gardens and see the sculptures that we have made. We also have a labyrinth and an island garden with a pond and river. Our focus is Garden Art… and functional stoneware inspired by the world and colors of our surroundings that grace our property. Some wheel-thrown pieces … some using the slab technique with hand-made stamps, small molds, and imagination. Jeff adds his love of wood and carving skills to many of the pieces which make their collaboration complete. Commission work is not typical for us but in 2023 the rule was broken and making house number sculptures became fun. Each one stands 4-5 feet tall. Gallery Artists It’s not just me in the studio. When I make a sculpture that needs a base, Jeff Waite jumps in with his chainsaw, sander, and keen eye for the grains of wood to make my pieces have an added element. It’s fun working together! Tim Bammel – Berkley, MI We have a few of Tim’s crazy sculptures in the gallery. His work is created from found objects and inspired by his imagination. Tim just happens to be married to our daughter, Gwen. Jillanne Consie – Lac du Flambeau, WI Flowers and Birdhouses – Gnomes and Fairy Neighborhoods are a delight in any garden. Each piece is uniquely created by hand. Look for the wash on the line, a cat… lots of cats, a swing, and more. Terry Gunderson Shulta – Wausau, WI Journals are what Terry does. They are unique, original and each one if different. Terry also teaches workshops. Ask for details. Mary Robinson – Wausau, WI Mary creates art from “things found” and her collection of vegetable prints from original pastel paintings are surprising. You’ll think they are photos.

While I was putting off finding a ‘real’ job, my mother requested a gourd birdhouse for her garden. Unable to find a birdhouse gourd locally, I went to the internet. Found a gourd grower and had to buy a box of ten. Then I had to figure out what to do with the other nine. The American Gourd Society (AGS) website with links to gourd artist sites across the country gave me a long list of possibilities and I was hooked. As I explored the many shapes, sizes and history of gourds, I learned that they were the first cultivars by indigenous peoples around the planet I started to research the individual uses. GOURDS have been cultivated for at least 11,000 years, based on Ancient DNA testing of gourd shards. Many cultures used them as sacred vessels, storage containers, musical instruments, utensils, and ornaments. Their use for many purposes provides a wealth of opportunity for artistic expression. The plant family – Cucurbitacea contains three major groups: Lagenaria – Hard-shell gourds Cucurbita –Edible and Ornamental gourds and squashes, and Luffa – Vegetable sponges. Lagenaria or hard-shell gourds are the gourds that I craft and sell. These gourds have a long growing season and take 3-6 months to dry. In the drying process, molds feed on the escaping moisture, creating the beautiful mottled effect on the gourd surface. These gourds are handled much like wood and they are a wonderful canvas for many techniques and most media. I use wood-burning and carving for shading, images, and texture. I use acrylic paints, pigment inks, dyes, and waxes for coloring. Dried seeds, pods, leaves, driftwood, antlers, beads, charms, coins, and many other decorative items can be used to rim or to embellish the gourd and to expand on the story told by the gourd. Come by and see them go from blah to LaDeDa! Gallery Previous Artist Next Artist
