TARA GINOCCHIO – OUR LABEL ARTIST<\/h3>\n

As a very impressionable and sensitive child, Tara Ginocchio\u00a0remembers being infatuated with the visual beauty of her surroundings in scenic Southern California. Her fascination with the colorful desert, mountain, and coastal landscapes prompted her into portraying these images in drawings and paintings at a very early age. She moved to Illinois in 1995 where she completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Painting at Northern Illinois University. Today she lives in a small community in Illinois where open prairie and farmland became her new adoptive home. Tara says, \u201cI look to the natural world around me for inspiration in my work; a garden, a forest, a body of water. I pluck elements from these environments; branches, rocks, vines, flowers, leaves, water and use as a reference.\u201d \u00a0Tara\u2019s artwork is featured on August Hill Winery\u2019s wine labels, newsletters, and other materials.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″]\n

Lawrence W. Baxter was a practicing attorney in Ottawa for 43 years. After closing his office in 2009, he saw a wire tree exhibit at an art show in Florida. This inspired a desire as a retirement project to create wire tree sculptures because of their uniqueness, and it involved working with wire and hand tools. The trees are created with copper, steel, galvanized or green pottery wire on granite, saucers, or rocks. Adornments are stone, sea shells, or painted cement.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n [\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]\n
