The Gallery


     The Gallery is home to works of art from local artists, in a wide range of media. In fiber arts there are lovely wearable hand woven, felted, and knitted works. For those that want to do the creating themselves, we offer uniquely beautiful hand spun yarns from exotic fibers. Human nature and the incredible qualities of the natural world are exquisitely recorded and expressed in fine art photographs, watercolors, pastels and oils, gold, silver and hand- beaded artesian jewelry. Original, stained and painted glass, soft sculpture doll figures, and children books signed by the author. For inside your home or outside in your gardens, wrought iron sculptures express the human love for and need of nature.

      A new category of works of art is our Felt Wear. If you have viewed the Farm section of our web site, you have seen that all of the animals were sheared recently. Part of the balance here on the farm is that everyone contributes to everyone. We all increase the quality of life for each other. I take care of the animals needs and they share their lives, love and fleeces with me. It takes many months to process the fleeces. The result is a resource of fibers that is magical. "Pure potential," I call it. From these fibers we create the felted works of art you see here - hats, scarves, clothing and more. Felting in this way is an ancient tradition. It truly is a natural way of creating and working in balance with the natural resources found in this way of life. I love it.

     The felted hats range from $125 to $165, vests shown - $285. Scarves are $ 40 and purses range from $ 39 to $ 90.
