16th Street Artist Studio Profile:

Missy Isely-Poltrock
Studio 3566

I am a mixed media artist, and I focus most on angels and pigs. My Angels are more abstract and not as I “see” them, but rather how I feel them. They form themselves and share several different messages depending on the day. Lately my angels have been full of sass, the words that they carry on their wings have simply become marks to be released to the wind. They want us to be kinder to ourselves, to speak our “peace”, to be seen. They are reminders that tranquility exists. There is some angel in each of us. Truth. We forget. I strive to remind people, and I believe in collective healing, meaning that any healing any of us does helps to heal the whole. Thus my affection for SoulCollage®.

As a SoulCollage® facilitator, that specific collage process speaks to me as much as it does to my participants. I appreciate how art can help people find their voices, unwind certain things too long carried and set them down ways that cannot always be accomplished with words.

I also have animal loves in my work. Turtles for perseverance, snakes for regeneration and forgiving yourself, owls for patience and knowing. Cats because cats. But most especially pigs. Pigs are misunderstood, have huge personalities, form tight bonds and are holy confidants and heart healers. Come see my giant 4' Wally the pig painting at the Open House! He's smiling for a pancake. We have like hearts...

Art is my sanity, sanctuary, strength, and if I’m really lucky it speaks to someone else too.

Artist Process:

Missy Isely-Poltrock is a member of Lemon Street Gallery in Kenosha, and a certified SoulCollage® facilitator. She respects the healing power of SoulCollage® when you simply hold the creative non judgemental space for the people that come. She works in mixed media, often with vintage materials with love and faith still in them, and also linoleum, acrylic, brush and ink, colored pencil, pastel... Angels, pigs, turtles, owls, and blue jay feathers (for finding your voice and not being afraid to use it!) are just some of her favorite subjects.

Studio/Artist Profile

Artist: Dianne Levesque Studio

Studio # 3544W

Medium: Painted, drawing and Woodcut Prints

Guest Artist: Lisa Bigalke

Artist Statement: The figures in my work are based on vintage toys, old dolls, and other kitsch objects. These objects become actors in various narratives that are anchored in social commentary. I use a maximalist approach with layers of intense color and patterns that create an unnerving playful effect very much like being tickled just a little too much.
I am an avid reader which also feeds my work. Anyone visiting my studio will also discover that I am a pencil nerd. Just ask me what Thoreau , Walden Pond ,and pencils have in common! Or what kind of pencil did John Steinbeck use to write "Grapes of Wrath".

Be sure to join us at the Racine 16th Street Studio Holiday open house on Saturday December 2nd. Not only a great place to shop for the holidays, but also see where your local artisans create their work! Be sure to stop by Jeff Shawhan Studio, he will be demonstrating wheel throwing and Raku firing!

It's happening in SPRING!!

So excited to have Chit Chaat serving food in the Chez Bob location during the event. They will be serving up delicious Pakistani Street foods. Including GF and vegetarian options.
They cook with imported spices that will fill the air and are sure to make your mouth water!
