It’s that time again!  The Annual Fall Art Tour begins Friday at 10am and runs through Sunday afternoon.  The 3 day event (Oct. 15,16,17, 2010) offers folks a chance to visit the working studios of some of the area’s most talented artists. Now, don’t think the tour is simply a bunch of wealthy people buying costly art, it’s not that.  The Art Tour gives everyone the opportunity to actually explore artist studios, to see where and how they work, and how their unique art pieces are created. Certainly you can buy wonderful and sometimes pricey works of art for your home or office, but you’ll also find even $20.00 or less can bring home one-of-a-kind treasure from hand-made jewelry to unique post cards and more.   Read the rest of this entry »

Todd Persche has been living in the Baraboo Hills for 12 years painting landscapes, botanicals and rural agricultural scenes. He hikes, skis and kayaks throughout the bluffs photographing outstanding natural areas for his subject matter. Environmental themes are always an undercurrent in his work. He frames his paintings using reclaimed barn boards and hardwoods.

In his spare time, Todd is a percussionist who likes to play with local musicians. He also works with local conservation organizations planting trees for The Nature Conservancy, leading tours of the Aldo Leopold Shack, and taking people on bird hikes for The University of Wisconsin, Baraboo. He has recently been elected to the board of directors for the Friends of Devil’s Lake State Park.

This year, Todd and his wife Beth will be participating in Wisconsin’s Fall Art Tour held this October 15, 16 & 17th. He will exhibit watercolors and she will exhibit her mosaics. Their house will be on display as the tour takes place in their studios, located within their craftsman styled work-in- progress. Come see the house, natural landscaping and organic garden complete with an urban chicken barn.
