North Point Lighthouse

North Point Lighthouse North Point Lighthouse Museum is a historic Milwaukee maritime treasure!

The North Point Lighthouse Friends worked for more than ten years to develop the funding and plan to restore and revitalize this Milwaukee treasure without any financial impact on the community. With restoration complete, we now strive to bring maritime and Wisconsin history to the community, while attempting to build more engaged relationships with our visitors and in our role as a social asset in southeastern Wisconsin.

Here's a message from exhibiting artist Fred Roos: "I am a self-taught wood artist making one-of-a-kind pieces, ranging from wooden bowls to unique boxes and vases. As the former president of the Wisconsin Woodworkers Guild and a Turners Guild member, I am inspired to create from the wood itself."

Here's a message from exhibiting artist Debra Klepp: "I am, by my own definition, an occasional artist — my life is full of interests that pull at me in different directions: service, gardening, poetry, museums, crafts, traveling our country, even basket weaving now and then. But painting is where I keep returning."

Here's a message from exhibiting artist Michael Dillon: "A Lifelong Milwaukee resident and graphic designer, my most remarkable achievement, apparently, is that I created, ran in and was the first winner of the Brewers Sausage Race (as the Bratwurst). I prefer to paint mostly urban scenes, mostly Milwaukee, but also Europe where I have spent a fair amount of time. I paint in smaller formats. Acrylic is my usual medium but I also like watercolor and pencil."

Here's a message from exhibiting artist Jeanne Cole Panka: "My work reflects my connection to nature and my interest in the changing environment. When the rush and hustle of my life becomes too much, spending time in nature is just what is needed. I create botanical images with watercolor and colored pencil using the flowers in my garden as subjects. I use soft pastels when doing landscape paintings."

Here's a message from exhibiting artist Robin Leenhouts: "I have been seriously making books since I retired from being an elementary school art teacher. While teaching, I had fun imagining and making with kids different books appropriate for 5 to 15 year olds. I am all about paper and marking it up. I make sewn, hard-bound journals and sketch books as well as smaller pads and soft cover books. The latter work well as substitute electronics to make lists, keep schedules or to tear off a page of information and hand it to someone."

Here's a message from exhibiting artist Julia Taylor: "My artistic journey began in a small farming community in Indiana, where I discovered my love for drawing at an early age. During my youth, I earned spending money by creating portrait sketches at county fairs and providing illustrations for local weekly newspapers. The strong foundation I received from dedicated art teachers in both high school and college taught me to draw fluidly from life.

After graduating with an arts minor during an economic downturn, I stepped away from my art practice for several years, though I continued sketching and taking occasional art classes. Ten years ago, I returned to serious artistic study, focusing intensively on watercolor painting."

Here's a message from exhibiting artist and poet Michael J Brophy: "I paint because I believe art can make important societal statements and be an agent of change. An accomplished artist once said to me: ‘You paint with feeling. Never lose that.’ It was the highest compliment I’ve ever received, because I want my art to mean something, even if it is sometimes dark or maudlin. As art is a platform for self expression for me, I am always humbled that a person might find also meaning and beauty in one of my works.”
