The Mary Nohl Art Environment (also called the Fox Point Art Yard, Fox Point Witch's house, Stick Lady's House and Mary Nohl's house) is a residence in the Milwaukee suburb of Fox Point, Wisconsin. After the death of her parents, a sizable inheritance left Mary Nohl the chance to create artworks. She used concrete and found objects such as driftwood, wire and glass to build sculptures. In addition

, the exterior and interior are colorfully decorated. Hundreds of works have been cataloged. Following Nohl's death, the embellished home and sculpture garden were given to the Kohler Foundation for preservation. Zoning requirements in Fox Point currently disallow its use as a museum and the grounds are closed to the public.

In 1943, Mary founded her own production pottery studio at 5644 North Green Bay Road. She produced a vast array of ceramic wares for gift shops in five states. In 1954, when freeway construction required the building's demolition, she was forced to shut down the studio. Where are all of these mini works of art today? Are you one of the few lucky enough to own a piece crafted with Nohl’s whimsical touch?
