Julie is the daughter of Jerry and Ginnie Vornholt of Danville and a 2011 graduate of Danville Community High School. She now lives in Madison,Wisconsin, with her hubby and two pupsters. She creates freehand murals, paintings and wearables.

While working on the mural, Julie had some help from her Mom and encouragement from her Dad. We’ll have the finished mural in next week’s issue.

Looking for some whimsy? Local artist Joanie Kisner has new series of artwork that bring out the feelings of wonder and excitement “When the Circus Came to Town.”

“Inspiration came from photos I have taken of Hendricks County barns, finding circus posters with Danville on them, and adding animals to the fun,” she explained.

The result is a world where zebras amble across the barnyard and balloons float above a family of giraffes next to a barn pasted with circus posters. There are five images in the series.

You can see them (and buy them) at the Gallery on the Square, 51 S. Washington, Danville. Sizes range from 16x20 in. canvas to 5x7 in. greeting cards. There are five different scenes. Perfect for Mothers Day or to add a bit of fun to your home or office.
