Mike Stearns has this incredible ability to capture the essence of our local woods. He patiently hand-carves each piece from discarded stumps and roots, shaping them to reveal a hidden beauty that only nature and a steady hand can provide. This Mushroom Oak Bowl is a perfect example of his refined craftsmanship and deep connection to the land.

Brent Jackson’s “Spyglass” balances spontaneity and control in the best way. His process is all about layering: starting with collage and small paintings, photographing them into digital layers, printing, then returning to the surface by hand with drawing, collage, and paint. The result feels modern, grounded, and quietly powerful: perfect for an office or conference room.

A change in perspective can completely transform a landscape. Deborah Eyde’s work invites us into a world shaped by her own unique vision. Influenced by her near-sightedness, Deborah focuses on the simplified shapes and bold colors that emerge when the fine details fall away, creating an abstract reality that feels both grounded and ethereal.

Smart Birds is a perfect example of this. The rich, tactile quality of the encaustic medium brings a wonderful depth to these stylized forms, capturing a moment of movement and color that feels remarkably intentional.

Searching for a Father’s Day gift that carries a real story? Bill Hilbrandt’s work is a celebration of the raw energy and natural beauty found right in our own backyard.

For Bill, the wood itself is the storyteller. He sources 99% of his material within 30 miles of his Brighton, Michigan home, treating each piece with incredible respect. This Black Locust Bowl features no stains: just the natural, vibrant color of the wood brought to a breathtaking high-polish finish through meticulous sanding. It is a tactile, sophisticated piece that feels as good as it looks.
