Bee Bomb

Nicole Hauser, the lively staff person at Tory Folliard Gallery searched high and low for the right guy. Last year she married him, “him” being Racine-based sculptor Bill Reid, the focus of a November 2008 feature in Milwaukee Home Magazine. Actually, he was right under her nose all the time….as a regular exhibitor at Folliard Gallery.

Their wedding reception at South Shore Park in Bay View was something to behold! Everything was made by the bride and groom, who arrived at the reception in a wildly colorful sculpture on wheels known as the “Bee Bomb,” built by Bill who teaches at the Prairie School in Racine. It gives new meaning to the words “hot rod.”

Theirs is a match made in heaven. When Bill exhibits at Folliard in March of 2009, Nicole will (naturally) be part of the crowd.
