Selected Works
Yong Hong Zhong “My urge to capture an emotion starts with a ‘spark.’ It may be as simple as a tree against a blue sky or a rock lying on the ground, but there is certainly something there that ignites and captures my attention.”
Rosemary Tobiga “I work to balance rudimentary, crude, and unfinished nature with refined elegance, polished precious metals or stones, a tender moment, or my favorite scenery.”
John Pedersen “My focus is seeking out the finer nuances of nature and capturing them in a way that transports the viewer into the scene to tell a story of the environment I am photographing.”
Tyler Haas “I strive to bring curves, lines, and movement to life in wearable art that is sensuous, vivid, and stunning. Every piece is one-of-a-kind and made with care, precision, and love.”
Elo Wobig “I think because I’ve always loved drawing, and have an eye for color, picking up the paintbrush feels natural to me. But I’ve learned there is so much more to making great art, and it’s something I’ll never tire of pursuing.”
Rabun Thompson “The work we do, if it is to endure, must be of value in our present lives and serve the purpose for which it was acquired. It will continue to live on, hopefully for generations in subsequent households, as testament to the enduring vision of the potter.”

Meet the Artist: Kathleen Duncan “Each piece I turn has to have a balance between touch, shape, proportion, and any embellishments. I have recently started turning very thin (2mm) bowls and piercing a design into them with a high speed dental drill. Much as I enjoy turning by myself, what gives me the greatest satisfaction is showing children the magic of woodturning.”

Meet the Artist: Judee Moonbeam “Wearable art should weave a story— like any painting would. I choose to take things a step further, forming inventive, yet functional garments and accessories. Ultimately, my focus is to reclaim discarded garments, store samples and similar to keep more textiles out of the landfill. Our ancestors reclaimed and rebuilt their garments. Why not us?” @judeemoonbeam

Meet the Artist: Kathleen Baker “The sources for my work are pretty diverse. I am drawn, sometimes unexpectedly, to certain forms, patterns, colors and textures. I find words and concepts inspirational. I’ve always been curious about the relationship between adornment and self-concept, and the potential impact on individual well-being, and I’m still intrigued.” @kbakermetalwork
