Merging the natural world with creative imagination, bones, claws, leaves, moss, feathers, and other found objects are transformed into fantastical entities in shadowbox worlds of their own - and maybe yours!
Showcased in this exhibition is the full-throttled imagination of Elizabeth Collins Hanes. It includes a love of collecting, and an appreciation for the beauty of the natural world. In a departure from her conventional talent – pottery - Hanes presents personal treasures collected over the years – wasp cells, ginko leaves, crab claws, star fish, dove and woodpecker feathers, Jekyll Island Beach clay, bones and more – that have been transformed into personalities carrying names such as “Prickly Smoocher”, “Sea Bebe”, “Pine Paladin”, “Leaping Dancer” and “Spreading Warmth.” Artfully displayed in shadow boxes, the anthropomorphic figures of Freaks of Nature beckon the viewer into their imaginary world for a closer look at the minute details of their unique construction.
The Madison Artists Guild Gallery is open Tuesday thru Saturday 11AM - 5PM.

The Steffen Thomas Museum has invited artists of all media and genres to its annual juried exhibition. This show aims to compile a broad range of perspectives that tell the dynamic story of our current social climate and the path forward. We will proudly feature a group of artists whose work inspires communication, healing, hope, love and unity.
This year’s exhibition is exemplified by the following quote by our namesake, Steffen Thomas.
“The most important aspect of art is communication. I use universal themes and I try to communicate with all persons. Art is unique in that a translation is not necessary, and a genuine work of art can be more powerful than a dozen ambassadors. If we can exchange our ideas and our feelings through art, I think it will be a little more difficult for us to go shooting and dropping bombs on each other. Perhaps I am an idealist, but this is what I believe and this is the purpose of my work.”
The museum is open Tuesday thru Saturday, 11AM - 4PM.

The museum is open Tuesday thru Saturday, 11AM - 4PM.
Merging the natural world with creative imagination, bones, claws, leaves, moss, feathers, and other found objects are transformed into fantastical entities in shadowbox worlds of their own - and maybe yours!
Showcased in this exhibition is the full-throttled imagination of Elizabeth Collins Hanes. It includes a love of collecting, and an appreciation for the beauty of the natural world. In a departure from her conventional talent – pottery - Hanes presents personal treasures collected over the years – wasp cells, ginko leaves, crab claws, star fish, dove and woodpecker feathers, Jekyll Island Beach clay, bones and more – that have been transformed into personalities carrying names such as “Prickly Smoocher”, “Sea Bebe”, “Pine Paladin”, “Leaping Dancer” and “Spreading Warmth.” Artfully displayed in shadow boxes, the anthropomorphic figures of Freaks of Nature beckon the viewer into their imaginary world for a closer look at the minute details of their unique construction.
The Madison Artists Guild Gallery is open Tuesday thru Saturday 11AM - 5PM.
The Steffen Thomas Museum has invited artists of all media and genres to its annual juried exhibition. This show aims to compile a broad range of perspectives that tell the dynamic story of our current social climate and the path forward. We will proudly feature a group of artists whose work inspires communication, healing, hope, love and unity.
This year’s exhibition is exemplified by the following quote by our namesake, Steffen Thomas.
“The most important aspect of art is communication. I use universal themes and I try to communicate with all persons. Art is unique in that a translation is not necessary, and a genuine work of art can be more powerful than a dozen ambassadors. If we can exchange our ideas and our feelings through art, I think it will be a little more difficult for us to go shooting and dropping bombs on each other. Perhaps I am an idealist, but this is what I believe and this is the purpose of my work.”
