Hi, art lovers. This year, WBI is presenting a Studio Tour of hidden gems in the Land Park and Curtis Park neighborhoods. On Sunday, June 23, from 1:00 to 4:30 pm, Merle Axelrad will host our gathering, tour, and post-tour activities. We will carpool from her house to the nearby studios.

Our featured artists this year include Jerald Silva, Sandy Fong Whetstone, and Kathrine Lemke Waste.
Jerald paints in luminous, layered watercolors; Sandy works in clay; and Kathrine creates whimsical watercolors which she characteriz-es as “contemporary realism.”

During our visits of their working studios, you will learn from the artists about their artistic processes, their history, and their plans for future works.

We encourage you to bring your checkbooks, as you may find some art that is perfect for your home or office! When we return to Merle’s, we will enjoy her garden oasis, and share snacks and beverages.
