Wander Family,

After a lot of sleepless nights and difficult decisions, I have decided to take an intentional break to explore how I would like Wander Art Studio to best be a creative space moving forward. As part of this time, the studio will be closed to the public for the foreseeable future.

This decision comes with a mix of emotions, but it also feels full of possibility. Over the years, Wander has been a hub for creativity, connection, and inspiration—all because of YOU. I’m so grateful for your unwavering support, whether you’ve joined us for classes, celebrated a birthday, or simply shared kind words.

While I won’t be posting regular updates during this time, I’m excited to use this pause to discover fresh opportunities and creative ways to continue to serve Du Quoin and the surrounding community.

Thank you for being an amazing part of this journey. I can’t wait to see what’s next and what we’ll create together when the time comes.

With much love,

Nicki Rathert
