Karen believes she has one of the best jobs in the world. Wearing a variety of hats each day keeps things changing and everyday special. “As I head into my third decade as owner of Avenue Art and Co. and now our gallery in Door County, I value the loyalty of our customers, reliability of our team and our creative know-how to produce truly unique projects, which is the reason Avenue Art and Co. continues to be successful.”
My Story
The spring of 2020, it all began, when Stephanie Trenchard and Jeremy Popelka invited me to partner with them in opening SOMI Gallery in Sturgeon Bay. It is such a joy to create, exhibit, and sell my own original oil and wax pieces alongside the glass work of these two incredibly talented artists!
Then two months ago the space next door to SOMI became available, and I took yet another plunge and in November 2021 I decided to open Avenue Art and Co on 3rd! I truly felt drawn and inspired to further share the talents of my creative team at Avenue Art & Company, the business I have led and loved for the past 35 years in Appleton Wisconsin.
