She has won numerous awards for her photography and has been featured in galleries and magazines throughout Wisconsin. She has also won awards for her films and has been selected multiple times to screen at film festivals across the world.

Kate recently returned from Iceland, where she had been living while working on a documentary about avalanche survivors in the town of Ísafjörður. Here she was also able to work on astrophotography and capturing the northern lights.

Her love for astrophotography started at home on Plum Lake, where she was always fascinated with the night sky.

Paco Fralick: LIVE @ Inspiration Bar

Date: Friday, July 22

Time: 7-9pm

Cost: $10 / person, parlor seating


Hailing from the Northwoods of Wisconsin his Ojibwe ancestors have called home for millennia, singer/songwriter Paco Fralick has always had a foot in two worlds, both personally and musically. His eclectic sound reflects his varied influences, blending notes of country, folk, pop, and Native Americana with original and authentic lyrics that speak to his life experiences and the healing messages he hopes to share with the world. His first studio album, Letting Go (2017) garnered critical acclaim, including a Native American Music Award for Song of the Year (“Women and Water”) which he co-wrote with Michael Bucher and a Global Music Award for Best Breakthrough Artist.

Paco’s love of music began early in his youth, nurtured through a combination of classical piano lessons and nights spent listening to his father practicing with an old reel-to-reel recorder. As a teenager, that love grew into a desire to create his own songs, but running a business and raising a family kept him from giving music his full attention until 2014. Since then, he has performed regionally throughout the Midwest, most notably at Indian Summerfest in Milwaukee where he won five awards between 2017 and 2018 for his album Letting Go.

Paco is currently working on his second and third studio albums which he hopes to release in 2021. The new music highlights his growth as a singer/songwriter, a musician and producer while continuing his style of captivating lyrics and unique musical arrangements that touch on aspects of life. His music is very real.

“My music is eclectic. It is a blend of country, folk, pop and Native Americana. It is a blend of all the people who have shaped me, all of my experiences, and all that I am and hope to be. 

Music has been many things to me and continues to evolve as I do, but one thing it has always been is healing. My hope is to extend that same healing to you through my music!”

Serving as the centerpiece of our programming, Wayne and his apprentices will lead students of all ages in harvesting materials from our local woodlands and constructing a summer wigwam in the courtyard of The Warehouse. The wigwam will be on display all summer and beyond.

In addition, Wayne will showcase an exhibit at The Warehouse, “The Many Uses of Birch Bark by the Anishinaabeg”. This exhibit will feature diverse handcrafted containers (berry, food storage, winnowing (rice), cargo, cradle receptacle, feather cases, dishes and bowls, folding maple syrup baskets, a birch bark canoe). The exhibit will be on display from July 9 – August 20.

Wayne has been an artist in residence at Northwestern University and currently works as a language and culture teacher at the Lac du Flambeau Public School. He is also currently in a residency with Purdue University. He is passionate about keeping cultural knowledge and traditions alive. Wayne is an experienced artist of many mediums, including beadwork, basketry, quillwork, singing, storytelling, and more. He is also one of only a handful of birch bark canoe builders left in the United States, highlighting its significance in the Anishinaabe culture and carrying on a tradition that has been handed down for thousands of years.
