Brewers all-star purchased four Pamela Anderson paintings last year to decorate his California digs, and stopped by to say hello Saturday while she worked at the Pfister.
A Wauwatosa artist whose work has been gaining attention for a couple of years now has one really big-league admirer – Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun. Last year, Braun bought four large-format paintings from Anderson to decorate his California home. On Saturday, he and girlfriend Larisa Fraser stopped in at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee to pay a visit to his favorite painter as she worked with artist in residence Timothy Westbrook in the hotel's art studio. Braun and Fraser even cast their votes for Anderson to be the next full-time artist in residence at the Pfister. Anderson's bold style of abstract painting features riots of color on large canvases. She also paints at the Plaid Tuba art studio in Milwaukee's Third Ward. Anderson …

By Mary Phillips for EFW Thanks to a grant from the Education Foundation of Wauwatosa (EFW), Wauwatosa West High School is home to Gallery 114, a gallery featuring artwork and writing submitted by Wauwatosa West students.

Arté wine and painting studio is open for business this week.
Business partners Lisa Allen and Karen Salituro are bringing a new “paint and sip” art movement to Wauwatosa. Their studio, Arté, will offer full-fledged painting classes starting Wednesday, with the help of wine and spirits. Both Allen and Salituro heard of the “paint and sip” concept from friends in the South. The two realized the movement would be perfect for the Tosa community and the surrounding area. “We really, really wanted to be in the Village, and we think it’s a great fit for residents,” said Allen. “Karen and I thought it would be great to bring it to Wauwatosa.” The two looked for art studio locations in Shorewood, the Third Ward and other places throughout Milwaukee but felt connected to the Village as a home for their …
