Artist Dee Sinnett’s works are inspired by the natural beauty that she sees all around her. Dee paints mainly in oil colors and occasionally in watercolor.

Painting is more than a hobby–it is her life. Her colors show the bold approach that she takes in capturing the beauty of a landscape or still life. She likes to add an element of mystery beyond the subject matter, showing her vision as different than an illustration.

Sinnett’s Sweet Meadow Gallery/Studio, Baileys Harbor, is set in the middle of a meadow that is full of wildflowers. The woodlands that surround her meadow are always a source of inspiration. She navigates the roads of Door County where she finds subject matter year-round. Dee is a full time resident and her gallery is open May through October and in the winter by appointment.

Having moved to Door County in 1984 as a watercolorist Dee became a student of oil painting. She attended many classes at the Peninsula Art School and The Clearing. She refers to herself as a “colorist interested in creating a color scheme”.

The opening of this exhibit is Sunday, February 6 and the show will run through March 27. The UU Gallery is located at 10341 Hwy. 42, Ephraim. Gallery hours are 1-3 pm Mon., Wed., Fri. and 11am-12:30 pm Sunday.
