Art in the Shop: Achieve Language Academy

Respect : Friendship
Artist in Residence Project

The 3rd grade classes of Cindy Videen and Elizabeth Brandt helped design and execute this soon to be complete glimpse of Lake Superior. Through the old growth of Hemlock and Maple coming together the viewer is encouraged to contemplate how Respect and Friendship are tied to one another.

Art in the World: Dinah and Patty Hulet

What makes an object collectible? It must be precious, remarkable and an object of sentiment. Sister duo Dinah and Patty Hulet’s work has earned this highly coveted badge creating hyperrealistic glass confections in 2005. Almost immediately, their sweet creations received an enthusiastic response from the public. The pieces exude a rococo-like decadence and can easily be imagined as having been precious items once owned by Marie Antoinette.

Detail of my life there came a man called George (1998) by one of the Hulet sisters, Dinah.
