A Painter Too




From The Shawano Leader.

From my days in the Gillett Area. I knew Ms. Wilke raises horses and dogs but didn't know she was an artist.

With careful strokes of her brush, Diane Wilke of Gillett creates the image of a bear, part of a large painting she has been working on with Menominee Indian High School sophomore Leo Powless for the past week. Wilke said they’ve been working on the painting — located on a set of the gym doors at the high school — for a combined 40 hours. Wilke has done paintings throughout the area through her business, Wilke Western Art. Leader photo by Cory Dellenbach


Good for her.
