Who We Are

We are artists. Together we have amassed over 75-years of experience in making, teaching, and exhibiting art. We think we should put that to the good of our community. We hope you think so too.

David Graham

David Graham’s subject is the American cultural landscape. A tireless traveler and a natural born storyteller, his work is a jubilant celebration of freedom of expression, seeking out those Americans who are serious about the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. As Robert Venturi points out in “Taking Liberties”, Graham’s work is rooted in the element of juxtaposition, interpretation and the embrace of the everyday American experience.

Graham has taught at the University of Arts in Philadelphia since 1999. He has worked regularly for the New York Times Magazine, Newsweek, Time, Fortune and Forbes. His photographs are in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He now resides in De Pere, Wisconsin.

Terri Warpinski

Terri Warpinski explores the complex relationship between personal, cultural and natural histories through her photographically based mixed media creative practice. Helen A. Harrison of The New York Times once wrote that: “(her work) is especially attuned to the often subtle evidence of human impact on nature… (and) invite(s) speculation about the secrets that may be revealed by close scrutiny and creative speculation.” 

Warpinski was distinguished as a Fulbright Senior Fellow to Israel in 2000-2001, as Professor Emerita of Art in 2016 after a 32-year career teaching at the University of Oregon and was the Honored Educator of the Society for Photographic Education at their international conference in Philadelphia in 2018. A native of Northeastern Wisconsin, she now resides along the Fox River in De Pere.

 
 

We are creating newARTSpace @ 124 North Broadway, De Pere

newARTSpace is a big idea. It is rooted in our love of ART, and our own creative needs.

To that end, it will serve as our collective primary studio space. Our archives will be housed here, as will our hot messes – the stuff of which we are currently working on. We will have our darkroom here, do our digital editing and printing, along with our finishing work from framing to crating! But in finding the Space we needed, we found so much more. We found Space to host exhibitions, for events and pop-ups, and for other artists to use as project space, too.
