“Distinguished Excellence“ category award winner! "Elemental Materials"

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.

Holly Olive is a Colorado-based painter.  She was born in North Dakota, but has lived in a wide range of landscapes from the Mojave Desert to New England.  This variety of landscapes is evident in the paintings she creates today.  Inspired by dreams of altered worlds, her paintings embody the movement and color of an altered universe.  Using acrylic and alcohol ink, she creates abstract landscapes of a world that is just outside her reach.  She casts out her brush as if it were a wizard’s wand in unpredictable strokes to inflict a visual experience that stimulates the mind to ask “What world is this?”  She uses a palette knife with an intentional splat to cleave into the fabric of time and space.  She works back and forth, layer to layer, until she verges on falling from the precipice to a new and precious universe.
