Mary Nohl Art Environment
Mary Nohl Art Environment, Visionary environment in Fox Point, Wisconsin, United States
Mary Nohl Art Environment is a house in Fox Point, Wisconsin, where art covers both the interior and exterior surfaces. The property contains fifty-nine concrete sculptures scattered throughout the yard, handmade stained glass windows, and painted walls inside with a wide range of artistic designs.
Mary Nohl began transforming her family home into an artistic environment in 1940 and continued working until 2001. During those six decades she created thousands of works using concrete, driftwood, and glass that show a lifetime of artistic dedication.
The space shows the creator's personal artistic vision expressed through colored glass windows and painted interior surfaces that reflect her individual style. Visitors can see how she used everyday materials to build something deeply meaningful to her throughout the decades.
Local information centers and online resources provide details about visiting and guided tours of the grounds. The exterior walkways are relatively accessible, though some areas can be slippery during wet weather conditions.
The yard displays large concrete head sculptures positioned between trees, creating an unsettling and surreal quality to the landscape. Inside, visitors discover numerous wooden fish arrangements and skeleton ornaments scattered throughout rooms, revealing unexpected details that reward careful exploration.
