"We are such stuff as dreams are made of," a line from Shakespeare's The Tempest, aptly describes the artwork by these two Milwaukee artists.

Layers of color, ancient tales and archetypes, natural images, and visual patterns revealing the exciting dynamics in the universe, are evident in this unique exhibit.

Painting with acrylic and water media, Borman focuses on the subjects of trees, plants, and landscapes as a platform to investigate the presence of patterns and symmetry found in all living things.  Through abstraction, contrast, and color she finds a key shape, and repeats it...or a telling angle, and then exaggerates it.

Wesenberg Rzezotarski's whimsical sculptures come alive through the use of an extensive palate, layered glazes, engobes, underglazes, and lustres.  Her avid interest in mythology, folklore, primitive art and folk art come through in each sculpture she creates.
