March Artist Uncorked : Mary Crnkovich
We’re proud to introduce Mary Crnkovich as our March Artist Uncorked of the Month!
Mary Crnkovich is a Wisconsin-based artist whose creativity shines through her unique approach to fiber art. Using fabric and other fiber materials as her “paint,” she layers patterns, textures, and colors to build dimension and visual interest in every piece. The result is artwork that feels both intricate and inviting — drawing you in to look a little closer.
Her style beautifully ranges from realistic traditions to bold, colorful abstracts. Mary often finds inspiration in rural Wisconsin barns, cityscapes, and the natural beauty that surrounds us — capturing both the quiet charm of the countryside and the energy of urban scenes through fabric and thread.
Mary has participated in regional exhibitions, including at the Alexander House in Port Edwards, and was honored with the Edith Miller Award in 2022 in recognition of her artistic contributions.
We’re so excited to showcase her work this month. Be sure to stop in, take your time exploring her pieces, and help us celebrate her incredible talent throughout March!

January Artist Uncorked : April Johnson with AI Garage Art
Our January Artist Uncorked is April Johnson with AI Garage Art
Biography of April and Ian:
A Journey of Healing Through Art
April Johnson, a devoted mother and emerging artist, found herself at a crossroads this year after the unexpected losses of her father and grandmother. Seeking solace and a creative outlet, she turned to art, a passion she had always admired but never fully explored. Alongside her son, Ian, she embarked on a transformative journey of creation, not just as a means to keep their minds busy, but as a way to honor the memories of their loved ones.
The duo quickly discovered that their artistic process was as much about decision-making as it was about creativity. They embraced the challenge of starting from scratch, experimenting with various techniques and styles. This journey pushed them into a vulnerable space, where they questioned whether their creations would resonate with others. However, the experience has been a blessing, allowing them to connect deeply with their emotions and channel their grief into vibrant pieces of art.
April and Ian believe that each artwork they create speaks to a specific individual, almost as if they are crafting pieces for someone they have yet to meet. They often witness the magical moment when a potential buyer’s eyes light up upon encountering a canvas, as if they’ve found a missing piece of themselves. “Oh wow! I have to have it!” has become a familiar phrase in their artistic endeavors, affirming their belief that art is a feeling—a profound connection that transcends the canvas.
Through their journey, April and Ian have not only cultivated their artistic talents but also forged an unbreakable bond. Creating art together has become a beautiful way to process their emotions and celebrate life, turning pain into purpose. Their story is a testament to the healing power of creativity and the magic of art, proving that to create a feeling is indeed a beautiful thing.
Be sure to stop by our "Great Room Gallery" throughout the month of January to experience these meaningful paintings.
