ABOUT M E

First and foremost all artwork is a totally hand-crafted product of the imagination of m e freeman. There is no ai or other digital content. Not only is he an artist, but is an illustrator. He sees everything, including thoughts, in three-dimension and in full color. Whenever he is in conversation he automatically illustrates a vision in his mind capturing the theme of the topic, hence the mind of the illustrator. At times m e freeman will work with a combination of mediums in his creations, but mostly he prefers oil based colored pencil. The works are a combination of realistic, surrealistic, and a childlike wonder. Enjoy

About Leah

I think of my work as art with which you will employ. They are functional pieces which are placed in the home to add beauty and create pause. My pieces are unassuming, inviting the viewer to move into a space of emotion. I rely on our desires for beauty, grace, and seduction of the simple and reserved. My work thus far has used the frame of simplicity to propose a sense of modernity, and in the process, point to obvious callings for daily use. I have found the existence of routine and effortlessness to be useful in the rearranging of perceived ideals. The objects I make are placed in the home, creating visible beauty in everyday objects. My projects are grounded in patience while living in the moment. Creating art is my way of finding peace.

About Robin

I call Marinette, Wisconsin home, where I live with my husband Bob. Life here is rich with simple pleasures: sailing, hiking, trout fishing, yoga, gardening, mushroom foraging, and baking sourdough bread. These moments ground me—and often spark my next watercolor or pastel piece. Painting found me during a difficult season, when the weight of loved ones’ mental health struggles felt overwhelming. What started as a quiet escape became a powerful outlet for healing—and eventually, a joyful passion for creating art that speaks to the soul.

ABOUT JEFF

Hi, I'm Jeff Hitzler, and I'm a resident of NEW, and I've had a lifelong passion for the arts. I am a full-time retired guy, and in my spare time, I enjoy creating watercolor and pen-and-ink art. I'm also a member of the Optimist Club where we support the young people of our community. My wife and I attend as many art events as we can. Now that I'm retired, I can spend more time indulging my creative side. I'm going to explore even more kinds of creative expression.
