From Interstate 80 (exit 246)

Take Highway One north from Iowa City (toward Solon)  and go 4 miles north of I-80.     

Turn LEFT onto Newport Road. 

Go 1.5 miles West.  You will pass a small church and cemetery on your right.

The next street is Sugar Bottom Road.   Turn RIGHT onto Sugar Bottom Rd. 

Go about 1.5 miles – cross over Turkey Creek and go up the long hill. 

Look for SJOLUND on a big, yellow mail box on the right side  (2528 Sugar Bottom Rd). 

Drive down the driveway and turn right at the “Y”.   We are the house way back in the woods and down the hill (It really IS Wilderness Studio). 

Please drive all the way down to the studio parking lot (behind the house) and come in the studio door. 

From Cedar Rapids or North Liberty

You can also get to my studio from Cedar Rapids by going south on I-380 to Penn Street in North Liberty and taking Penn St. east to Mahaffey Bridge Road.  

Drive over the bridge above the Reservoir and continue up the hill to Sugar Bottom Road.  Turn right and take Sugar Bottom Road south for about 4 miles.  

My studio will be on the left side (north side) of Sugar Bottom road at 2528.

Drive down the driveway and turn right at the “Y.”  We are the house way back in the woods and down the hill (It really IS Wilderness Studio). 

Please drive all the way down to the studio parking lot (behind the house) and come in the studio door.
