milwaukee art museummilwaukee, wi.I have visited this museum numerous times throughout my life because it is located in my hometown. The collection is expansive, covering art movements from Baroque to modern glass sculpture. Below are some of my favorite pieces, including colorful glass sculptures, intriguing historical paintings, and The Janitor, a lifelike human sculpture propped up against the wall. The architecture of the museum itself is a masterpiece. The bright white structure and open space is illuminated with natural light, which helps make it one of my favorite museums.

hawthorn contemporary gallerywalkers point, milwaukee, wi.I had the opportunity to visit the Hawthorn Contemporary Gallery when my work was displayed in the Gray Gallery, a section of this gallery. I observed two different areas of the gallery, one with large scale abstract paintings, and a room with three dimensional wall projects. These were also abstract, and some of them were hanging from the ceiling, which allowed me to walk around and observe it from all angles. I enjoyed the focus on color and texture, as well as how the pieces were arranged in the space.

Hawthorn contemporary gallery Small worksThis was another gallery exhibit located within the Hawthorn Contemporary Gallery. The pieces were made by a variety of artists that participated in a challenge, in which they had to create 30 small pieces over 30 days. This was one of my favorite exhibits I have ever visited, and I loved seeing the variety of artistic styles, but noticing the trends among some pieces that I inferred were made by the same artist. After seeing this, I was inspired to create a series of small pieces.
