Mount Horeb’s downtown Driftless Historium presents “Wayfinders,” an exhibition by artist and educator Laura Pahlas. Pahlas, a former Mount Horeb elementary art teacher—you might remember her as “Ms. G”—returns to the Trollway with an oil painting installation showing in the Kalscheur Family Community Gallery from August 29 through November 4, 2025 during regular museum hours (Friday through Tuesday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.).Pahlas earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and holds a second degree in Art Education. A fourth-generation painter, art educator, and mother, Pahlas uses creativity as a way of connecting with others while trying to make sense of the world. She believes “art-making is a powerful act of connection that bridges the gaps between us and reminds us of our shared humanity.” The artist invites you into the worlds she creates; often working in series or collections because it allows her creative practice to flow freely without being limited by one process or medium.
Pahlas works out of Heartwork Studios in Ripon, Wisconsin, which she co-owns and operates with fellow artist Carissa Sorensen. Heartwork Studios offers process-based workshops, classes, and events that are open to the community.
As part of this special exhibit, Pahlas will be offering a “Painting for Joy,” art workshop at the Driftless Historium on Saturday, November 1, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Registration is required; fee applies. Please visit www.heartworkstudio.org for more information and to register.
