Photography, 11” x 14”

Kristi Schumacher is a self-trained artist, woodcarver, photographer, and children’s book author. Her work can be found in many venues throughout the midwest, including the Local Store.

"The August Silos photo was taken in 2011 on my farm near Eau Claire-it’s one of my favorites. In fact many of my photos are taken at the farm, or within a few miles of it. My paintings and drawings are created in a realistic style in pencil and acrylics. Carving is another one of my passions. The one-of-a-kind folkart santas, horses, and dolls I create have found new homes as faraway as California. I’m truly excited that my third children’s book should be ready for publishing sometime this winter. What can I say, art in one form or another keeps me passionate about life.” – The Artist
