Hello!

Welcome to Soulflower. The studio is located on the second floor of the Edison Center along Appleton’s beautiful Fox River. Soulflower is a small cozy Art Studio that promotes well-being through art and creativity.

Art is a way of life! And Soulflower provides an inspiring, welcoming space for people from all ages and backgrounds to creatively engage.

Soulflower is owned and operated by Gretchen Wood. Gretchen is a practicing professional artist and educator! The studio is for learning and developing new skills while having fun in a calming relaxing environment!


The studio functions by offering education and providing a space and the materials for the creative spirit to flow.
