Serendipity
A Martini Girls Group Show featuring the artwork of Patti Belbin, Debbie Callahan, Marcia Hero, Marcia Hochstetter
Opening Reception – May 9, 2025 from 6-8pm
The Martini Girls 4 journey has been a serendipitous one. From the meeting of the 3 co-founders, Marcia Hochstetter, Debbie Callahan, and Marcia Hero, to meeting and welcoming our 4th member, Patti Belbin. Along the way we were given the opportunity to have a recurring annual colaborative exhibition at the Art*Bar, and have exhibited together and separately in venues acrossSoutheastern Wisconsin. Early on, we were privileged to meet artist and gallery owner Shelly Rosenquist, who has graciously offered to host an exhibition of new paintings in May and June, 2025.
History of the Martini Girls 4
We are a delightful quartet whose incredibly talented and engaging members share a unique connection and sisterly bond formed in our love for art. Through our creative efforts we impart our thoughts, feelings, experiences, and love for community.
Debbie Callahan, Marcia Hero, Marcia Hochstetter, and Patti Belbin met
several years ago, and would often go out for a martini and talk about our
endeavors and life experiences. Our friendship developed from there and we
became known as the Martini Girls 4.
From those early beginnings, an idea took shape – having a place of our own
in which to laugh, share ideas, and paint. Together. We were lucky enough to
find it at Inspiration Studios in West Allis, and The Martini Girls 4 Studio,
was established in 2018.
We have been painting and exhibiting collectively and individually in
Southeast Wisconsin together for more than 17 years. The Martini Girls 4 is a true reflection of our passion for Art.
