Brad Carlin established B.C. Nature Photography in 2001. Since that date he has owned and operated this self-employed business, mostly consisting of exhibiting his wildlife and landscape images at art festivals within the Western United States and photographing these incredible places every moment possible. Him being a conservationist and hidden outdoorsman, with a high respect for the natural world allows him to express the personal characteristics of his subjects and has taught him the importance of understanding nature with patience in absorbing each breath taking moment. Touching the lives of others, that he has met while exhibiting his work, is one of his greatest accomplishments. This adds to his passion and increases his commitment to what he loves so much.

Since she was a child, Jenny Powell ha been fascinated by nature and the little things in the world around her. As she travelled the world and moved all over the place, not only did she take in all of the grand vistas and landscapes that she saw, but she also took the time to get down on the ground to examine things like moss and lichen growing on the side of a rock or the symmetry of a flower.  As she got older, she used point and shoot digital cameras and her phone to capture those smaller, more intimate, moments in nature.

 Hand-cut and stitched custom-made leather goods for home and travel. As the owner and craftsman of Product 127, Jordan believes that nothing is more important than ensuring every client and every product receives the attention it deserves. This commitment means that no item, whether a personal creation or a client commission, leaves the shop unless it meets the highest standards of quality and attention to detail. 

Product 127 began as many small business stories do: in a garage; #127, to be precise. What started as a hobby in 2015 for artist Jordon Brockman would grow to become a passion that focused, first and foremost, on function.

Self-taught “outsider” artist. I use mainly oil and acrylic paint to create dream-like landscapes. Heavily influenced by the surreal and abstract paintings of Van Gogh and easy going “modern” style of Bob Ross.

Psychedelia, the unknown, and the obscure.  A firm believer in color above form. I hope I can provide you with a painting that brings joy and a quick escape from reality with a glance.

Tina Hoffer is a unique woodworker by blending two of natures alluring elements; wood and stone. Tina  creates functional, culinary accessories with her Cutting Boards, Gathering  Boards, Serving Platters and Dipping Trays that will elevate your daily or  special occasions. 

Tina meticulously searches through  arborists’ wood lots looking for the perfectly flawed, cracked and knot  filled hardwoods that other woodworkers pass by because of these  deficits. She chooses smaller pieces of wood that will be enhanced with  Stone like turquoise, lapis, malachite or chrysocolla, and inlays these  into the cracks and voids. She follows the Kintsugi method of Japanese art , where broken and fractured pottery is mended with gold  or silver dust, there by restoring the fragments to a functional and more  beautiful piece.
