Art Walk Stoughton 2026 Artists
TBurkhalter Photography
As a nature photographer, I initially strived to capture a strong sense of place in areas of the country in which I was fortunate to work such, as California, South Dakota, and Washington State. That mission has evolved to try and capture the behavior and essence of the wild animals that call those special places home. Whether it be the fleeting moment of an animal on the hunt, or the tactile sense of a bison's almost impenetrable fur, I hope to provide my audience with a visceral reaction to my work.
Gigi Gastevich Studios
Gigi Gastevich is a textile artist working in computer-assisted weaving and knitting. She explores the relationship of technology and handcraft, investigating similarities between digital data storage and textile techniques (fun fact: many historians consider the weaving loom to be the first computer!).
Gastevich holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Fiber & Materials Studies, where she was the department’s Wilson/Livingstone Fellow. She is now the owner of Kismetic Studios, a gift shop on Stoughton’s Main Street featuring handmade goods from Midwest artists.
The Painted Page
Connie Graham of The Painted Page creates collages from painted, textured and printed papers. She draws an idea of times remembered, places traveled, realistic, whimsy or an abstraction. Then she cuts, arrange and layer the painted papers into a colorful collage.
Art of John Gray
I enjoy creating whimsical scenes and fantasy art primarily in watercolor, and ink. I've lived in WI for most of my life and currently reside in Stoughton WI.
Deep Well Studios
The Vidar and Hans comic book series follows the antics and adventures of a Viking and troll living in Stoughton, trying to hide their secret identities while moonlighting as superheroes. We also have a number of linocut prints inspired by Wisconsin country landscapes and celebrating the simple joys of life.
Rachel Wilson Arts
Always “arting”…that is how Rachel Wilson's family would describe her. Her passion for painting reignited during Covid-19. Rachel paints every morning before heading into the classroom teaching 5th grade at Wilson Elementary School in Janesville. She prefers to paint tiny art–as in 4 in. or smaller. She was a 2023 and 2025 Itty Bitty Art Show winner of the Milton Public Library. Rachel’s works are available at The Villager Framing and Art Gallery in Beloit, WI, where she also offers watercolor workshops bi-monthly.
Scott by Design
Queer interior design finds its diverse and beautiful expression through Scott by Design, a creative venture by the married couple Abbey and Haley Scott. Their unique creations reflect their passion for all things queer, eco-friendly, body celebrating, neurodivergent, whimsical, and unique! Their aim is to create safe and accessible spaces, spread joy, address inequities, and make a positive impact on the world with each human that interacts with their creations.
