Area art studio finds its niche with paint and sip classes By Jason Arndt STAFF WRITER
Amanda Munsen is not just an owner of an art studio, but an artist herself, and wanted to share her passion with her hometown of Fox Lake, Ill. Munsen, who opened Studio 25 Art Creations last November, discovered her passion for art while attending the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. “There was always something that I loved about art, teaching, and my love for Fox Lake, but that was not my initial mindset when going to La Crosse,” Munsen said. “But as all life discoveries happen, it took a few twists and turns in the road until I found what I truly wanted to do and what I wanted to bring to my hometown.” After she graduated from UW-La Crosse in 2013, she returned Fox Lake, where she and her Studio 25 “team” started at-home paint parties.

The DOT hopes to reopen the intersection by June 14. For motorists traveling on Highway C, west of Highway 45, they are directed to continue on Highway C to connect with Highway 83. From there, the detour takes motorists north on Highway 83 to Highway 50, where they are instructed to head eastbound on Highway 50 to Highway D, and in turn, travel southbound to reconnect with Highway C. The closure and stoplight replacement is part of a DOT plan to reconstruct and resurface Highway 45 between the Wisconsin state line and Highway 50.
As crews continue to work, authorities are reminding motorists to stay out construction zones, citing safety concerns. In a May 16 Facebook post, Bristol Fire and Rescue urged travelers to avoid Highway 45, unless they are local residents or plan to access businesses along the route. “Please avoid use of Highway 45 between State Line Road and 86th Street in Bristol while it is under construction - unless you must transit to reach your residence or business along the affected area,” the post states. “Traffic in this area creates a serious hazard to construction crews and inhibits responding emergency vehicles.” Additionally, on May 23, the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department issued a similar notice, which emphasized adherence to local traffic only signs. “We would also like to caution motorists that disregarding a road closed sign and entering a highway un-
