The Wave - A tour of Artists Studios in the Interlake

Janet Cruse (shown above) is but one of many artists whose work and studios are featured this weekend in the WAVE - Artists Studio Tour. This tour covers the eastern Interlake and includes 31 stops which include artists in Stonewall, Winnipeg Beach and Gimli as well as various other locations almost as far north as Arborg.

Janet Cruse is a sculptor and she works primarily in Black Walnut and features horses. The rocking horse in the photo above is one of her recent carvings. There are many other artists ranging from painters to potters to weavers to photographers. One of the artists featured - Karen Rogers - was the subject of an earlier blog.

I was in Teulon this afternoon to help with a Worker's Compensation issue. Afterwards, I visited two of the studios on the Wave tour including Janet Cruse. My wife Naomi was much more ambitious getting to almost all of the 31 sites.
