Everything is an original piece for the show. We have a lot of artists who haven't shown in Milwaukee before.

If you've never been to the Paper Boat, we have over 100 artists' work on sale in the store.

I tend to try to support women artists. Women often don't get as much attention. I thought it would be nice to have a group show with all women involved with a fancy lady theme to work with.

There's a couple real pieces that sort of shine. 'Queen Owl' by Dana Carlson, the most established artist in the show. She shows a lot in New York and her piece is really good eye candy. And there's Tracy Bull, she works with a lot of glass. Her piece is really beautiful. It's called 'Lair.' It's glass with copper and a queen bee inlay. It's really gorgeous.

It's a little seasonal, but I'm kind of a fan of the heart as an icon. I thought it would be really cool to see what other women would come up with in their mediums.

Most artists like to think of themselves as rugged individualists, as independent characters.
