Joel Berry’s Synchrony explores our collective addiction to the hyper-saturated digital landscape. Through meticulously painted pixels, he creates a rhythmic, optical field that asks us to step back and look closer. This analog rendering of a digital phenomenon provides a powerful perspective on the era we are in, making it a perfect conversation piece for a professional environment, especially if our custom frame studio was invited to put the finishing touches on it with a beautiful frame!

Michael Rajnicek’s work lives in that beautiful, complex space between black and white. He often speaks about "finding life in the gray" - a rejection of our need to simplify the world into easy categories and instead embracing the nuanced reality of our environment.

"Boardman River Trail" is a direct response to the natural world Michael loves to explore through hiking and biking. Created with charcoal on Dura-Lar, this piece captures the quiet, unfiltered movement of the water with an incredible depth that pulls you right into the landscape. It is a reminder that we are part of nature, perfectly equal to the elements around us.

There is something so deeply quiet and intentional about Pam Moxley’s work. It invites you to slow down and notice the intricate details that often go overlooked in the rush of the everyday.

In Feather 1/10, Pam combines her fascination with photography and mixed media to create a piece that feels like a precious specimen found in an explorer’s field notes. The sepia tones and distressed textures are perfectly balanced by a high-gloss resin finish, giving the work a beautiful mix of nostalgia and modern polish.

Kelly Allen’s Bioforms series explores the intricate tension of constant exploration. Her process of layering handcut paper, colored pencil, and acrylic creates a sense of movement that feels both scientific and deeply organic, like observing a hidden world through a microscope.

There is a certain joy in being the curator of your own space. With Joanne Rebek’s Torba series, the possibilities are as vibrant as the pieces themselves.

Joanne is a Saugatuck-based artist whose work explores the intersection of organic form and bold, saturated color. Each ceramic vessel is hand-built with a unique, undulating silhouette that feels alive and architectural.

While each Torba stands beautifully on its own, they are designed to be played with. These pieces are sold individually, giving you the freedom to mix and match different heights and hues to create a collective energy that fits your home or office perfectly. Whether you prefer a monochromatic trio or a full spectrum of color, these vessels invite you to experiment with your own combinations.

The kind of piece you want to live with all summer: quiet, grounded, and right at home at the lake.

Eric Wieringa’s What They Say feels like a small collection of found stones and shoreline stories, held in place with remarkable care. Bold in its form, easy in its presence.

A great sculpture does more than just fill a corner. It changes the way you move through the room. There is something incredibly grounding about the presence of wood, especially when it is carved with such intention.

Rusmel Mora has this gift for finding the drama in the grain. In Unveiling, he uses sharp, geometric planes to create a sense of movement that feels both ancient and contemporary. At over five feet tall, its scale is perfect for a great room or an entryway where it can truly be seen.

Adventure and sophistication collide in Toni Swarthout’s Finer Days. There is an undeniable boldness in this piece that commands the room - it is a visual exploration of energy and layered history.

Toni’s abstract work has a way of anchoring a large space with its vibrant movement and intricate mark-making. The play between the deep blues and the spirited red-orange accents creates a conversation that never quite ends.
