Meet The Wisconsin Artists, Eloise & Steve

High school sweethearts Steve and Eloise embarked on their journey together, attending the same university with hopes and dreams intertwined. Parental advice led them to prioritize academics over their budding romance, and they eventually parted ways, each marrying other partners as they pursued their individual paths. However, fate had other plans, and in 2018, Eloise and Steve found themselves reunited, their hearts rekindling the flame that had never truly extinguished. They embraced their shared destiny and committed themselves to each other once again in marriage. Today, their shared passion manifests in creative endeavors that reflect their reunion.

Steve meticulously crafts cardinal and heart silver spoon jewelry while Eloise channels her artistic spirit into crafting delicate cardinal earrings, fashioning them from repurposed spoons and the intricate gears of old watches. Eloise's journey into the world of art is deeply personal and rooted in her experiences as a hard of hearing teacher of the deaf and other children with special needs. This profound connection inspired her to embrace painting American Sign Language (ASL), particularly the 'I Love You' gesture, as a core theme of her work. Eloise paints miniature masterpieces, captivating scenes that celebrate the beauty of communication and love.

Her artistic excellence hasn't gone unnoticed; Eloise has been featured in Lee Magazine and Sunshine Artist Magazine, celebrated in newspapers, appeared on television, and has been honored with numerous awards. After years of teaching art at the junior college level, Eloise has now turned her full attention to creating art as her full-time job, pouring her passion, experiences, and love into every piece.

Love is what brought Steve and Eloise together and is the driving force behind every stroke of the brush, every twist of the silver, and every design choice. For Eloise and Steve, their art isn't just a means of expression; it's a reflection of their enduring connection and the journey they've traveled together, a testament to the power of love to transcend time and circumstance.
