Alison Coldwell - Milwaukee Made Mud
I love making things on the pottery wheel. The process of making is the drive for me first and foremost. I especially love making large pieces and pushing myself to make more impressive pieces (I'm so hyped for my studio to get a 3' tall kiln installed soonish, I've already maxed out the 2' tall kiln). Clay/Ceramic. I make pottery and ceramics functional ware, as well as vases and decorations.

​Dana Dufek - By a Thread
I was diagnosed with stge3 breast cancer in 2019. I'm now in remission (yay) emotionally processing all that I’ve been through. Finding time to make art is an act of love. In a time when the world feels very heavy and that we’re holding on by a thread, it’s good to remember that thread is strong, and that it weaves through & connects us all. Mediums include painting, watercolors, intuitive drawings and bead embroidery on reused fabric and thrifted paintings and prints.
David DaSilva - OK, DAD Printmaking
The reason I'm drawn to block printing is because I'm drawn to the art of repetition. The illusion that things are the same but in reality they are not. My work is usually about internal struggles that I depict in a light-hearted way. Original linoleum/wood block prints.

Heidi Nehring
For me, writing is spiritual in nature. A binding through a microscopic sense of looking at beingness from nature’s platforms; observing the swirling emotions and natural sensations that move throughout the pulsing of the human heart. It’s my personal practice of integration, connection, relationship, transformation with all of it; a reciprocity of the Soul and human heart. Curating spiritual reflective books through poetry and prose.
Laura M Zimmer-Ploeckelman - Lavish Pets, Apothecary
I see a need to be creative in every aspect of my process I am inspired by people and animals which I have also created into art. I used all mediums to create art. I do like to use upscale or used mediums when available. My homeopathic items for people and pets use organic materials when available.
Liana Kapelke-Dale
I tend to create using inspiration from nature. In the past I've worked extensively with live, dried flowers; recently I've been doing a lot of linocut block printing of flowers and birds as well as 12x12 wooden carvings of the same. I use the linocuts to make small prints, as well as integrating them into larger pieces. I'm a mixed-media artist and work with all kinds of materials: everything from acrylics on canvas to watercolor pencils to engraving on balsa wood to printmaking to embroidery.
Lisa Gundry - Rebel Revival
​
I'm inspired by the natural world to create pieces that ignite and inspire - strength, movement and light. Leather cuffs kissed by metal wrap wrists and fingers, while earrings dripped with leather & chain sway like mini mobiles from lobes. Each piece is one of a kind. I use leather, wood, natural and wood stone beads, rocks and chain to make jewelry - earrings, bracelets, rings and necklaces - as well as bookmarks and wall art. I use offcuts of leather and thrifted items to bring new pieces to life.
Matt Filipiak
Loraxian deep ecology empath rooted in the ecosystemic interdependent interconnectedness of it all. Been snappin photos since I was a little with my Dad’s 110 on road trips coast to coast on Turtle Island. Musician, poet, philosopher, peaceful warrior wizard, practicing daily meditative photo finding, letting the cosmic ether on Earth guide the imagery to my eye & through my iPhone 16 Pro lenses.

Mickey Thiry - Mickey Thiry Designs
Mickey’s artistic process is grounded in a deep reverence for nature, community, and embodiment. Drawing inspiration from natural material and native flora and fauna, her work invites quiet reflection and celebrates the beauty of everyday life. Each piece is created with intention, often combining materials to highlight delicate detail and organic form. Natural materials: watercolor, clay, ink, hemp, and wooden or seed beads.
Rain Francis - Idlewild Road
My work comes from simple values: There is wonder in the world around us. Let’s use what we have, really well. Deep listening along the way, gratitude for the journey. Art is awesome in accessibility: visual, emotional, economical, spiritual… It is my hope that my work is nourishing to the soul and comforting to the eye. Noticing, pattern, origin, cycles, magic, and love are the big themes. I create Topofeelia (5x5 photos mounted on salvaged wood of varying thicknesses) and Tree Genies (found bark paired with gemstones).
Susan Welsh - SW Reflexology
Such a gift to offer gentle, nurturing heart centered and universe guided physical touch via reflexology that sees and values another human being. Plus reflexology can relax, re-balance and renew one’s body, mind and spirit. Sharing the art of reflexology thru complimentary mini hand reflex sessions!
