"The need to personalize our surroundings is a defining human characteristic. For some this need becomes a drive to transform their personal surroundings into multi-faceted works of art. For more than thirty-five years, the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, has been dedicated to the preservation of these environments, twenty-two of which are presented for the first time in Sublime Spaces & Visionary Worlds. This colorful and inspiring book explores the work of these vernacular artists whose locales, personal histories, and reasons for art making vary widely, but who all share a powerful connection to the home as art."

Sublime Spaces and Visionary Worlds is the first book to explore these spectacularly offbeat spaces in detail.From "Original Rhinestone Cowboy" Loy Bowlin's wall-to-wall glitter-and-foil living room to the concrete bestiary of "witch of Fox Point" Mary Nohl, each artist and project is described in detail through a wealth of visuals and text. Sublime Spaces and Visionary Worlds reminds us that our decorative choices tell the world not just what we like but who we are.

It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.…
