Landscapes – Oil on Canvas My inspiration as an artist comes from many places. I started painting when I was young with my mother, Charlotte Fung Miller, who is trained in classical Chinese Brush Painting. My style started with contemporary brush paintings of mountains, landscapes and nature.

"Summer Magic"


June 2026



We are self-taught artists who create work inspired by healing, nature, travel, and personal experiences.

Ritt will have his band with him for this special show celebrating his latest recording, Horses and Smoke, which he will have available for sale.

Ritt Deitz - guitar, vocals
Wilder Deitz - piano, electric piano, back vocals, percussion
Dave Foss - hammered dulcimer, rub board, back vocals
Joe Meisel - bass

Horses and Smoke, Ritt Deitz’ new album, his sixth on Uvulittle, was recorded live to open-reel tape last winter in Oregon, Wisconsin. Engineered and mixed by Bruce Kasprzyk, the album breathes with the authenticity that comes from years and years of playing with friends and family. Indeed, he's joined by his son Wilder on piano and his two core band members, Joe Meisel and Dave Foss. Madison fiddle wizard, Biff Blumfumgagnge sits in on two tracks (and mastered the album.)

Throughout, Ritt's rich, Johnny Cash-like voice, is the thread that holds everything together as the band transports the listener to an older, seemingly more honest era.
