Betty Hogan

SECRETARY

Betty serves as Secretary, and settled in Mineral Point with her husband, from Chicago, in 2013. Their move fulfilled a longtime dream to live in a small town. Mineral Point’s artistic and creative atmosphere along with the many amazing people, were the perfect fit. Betty has always valued creativity and the arts in all forms, and has great admiration for artists and musicians. She spent her career as an educator encouraging creativity, and sneaking in art projects whenever she could. Though not an artist herself, she acts out her own creative impulses occasionally dabbling in art classes, but mostly takes it out on her garden, which is a work in progress. Betty holds an undergraduate degree from William Jewell College and an MEd from National Louis University.

Steve Brown

EVENT COMMITTEE

Steve was first introduced to watercolor painting while in college at The University of Illinois, by an instructor that demonstrated confidence in handling the medium while sharing a sunny outlook on life. Inspired by the experience, Steve’s been painting landscapes and street scenes since then, mostly on location. The beauty of the Southwest Wisconsin landscape captured his interest and drew him to Mineral Point many years ago. Following his career as an art director, Steve now spends the non-winter months scavenging for beautiful painting subjects and finding meaning in offhanded scenes.
