New Beginnings!

12/28/2013

It's time to start building a new gallery and performance space. Inspiration Studios opens its doors on March 1, 2014. Much has already been accomplished, but there is plenty to do before that Grand Opening, Do I admit that I'm a bit nervous about taking on such a huge challenge? OK. I admit it. It makes me a bit nervous, but it will be worth the time and effort. The excitement of creating something new...from an idea... is exhilirating! I will most certainly make mistakes in the process. (I already have!) If you have advice or suggestions that will help me keep this dream alive, I'd certainly welcome them. -Erico

Erico Ortiz

Erico Ortiz was born in Cayey, Puerto Rico and was raised in Milwaukee. He earned his undergraduate degree at Marquette University (Spanish Education) and a Masters Degree from UW-Milwaukee (Administrative Leadership). After working for Milwaukee Public Schools (teacher, administrator) for 33 years, it was time for retirement and a new direction.
Erico has worked with several community theatre companies, both on stage and behind the scenes, something he still enjoys today, and is a board member of the Village Playhouse. He plays guitar and can be found Sunday mornings directing the Spanish choir at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Parish in Milwaukee.
Painting has become a passion since retirement in 2011, leading to the development of Erico's Gallery. Since then, he has delved into the arts world by becoming involved with Riverwest Artists Association and the Sheboygan Visual Artists. This latest venture, the purchase of an art gallery and performance space should prove to be exciting.
