 | Artist: Anita Jo ArtWork
One fateful day in 2001, Anita Salvador was struck with an irresistible urge to start painting. Soon her first painting was complete using a plywood board and ordinary house paints.
What began as a hobby rapidly escalated into a career by winning awards like People's Choice in juried shows. In 2004 she left her previous life behind with few regrets and has been exhibiting, teaching and opening her own gallery to share with others.

 | Artist: Carla Dawson
I love color, line, nature, simplicity, travel, and humor. I hate rules. My goal is to take these emotions, use my imagination freely and create paintings that make me smile. Hopefully others will smile with me.
Since 1992 I have been studying and working at finding my niche. I have studied at Washington University; worked in a fine art glass gallery, taken a landscape workshop with Kim English in Aspen, CO; and studied privately with Robert Anthony Ketchens. (I hope to always be a student in some capacity.) I have also owned and operated a business designing and creating beaded/semi-precious stone jewelry which I exhibited both locally and nationally in juried shows. I now focus solely on oil painting (and my granddaughters) and am finding great satisfaction.

Artist: Designs by Charity
Like ancient artifacts excavated from a lost civilization, this mixed media metal jewelry is hand fabricated to feel like old treasures rediscovered. Very identifiable by the rich but rough textures and deep muted earth tones, the forged metals are combined with found objects, and unusual cuts and colors of semi-precious stones. Reminiscent of relics & decidedly different!
These original recipe soaps are of the highest standard for purity and balance. I use all-natural ingredients, grow my own botanicals, use only Pure Essential Oils, and I actually catch my own rainwater for the freshest batch possible! Thus, the name: Rainwater Soaps.

Dewberry Ridge was founded by my husband, Gary, and me in 2003. Deciding on a name was easy—our country home is located on a ridge, surrounded by the Bourbeuse River, and originally covered in wild Dewberries.

Artist: Duncan Designs
Carla has enjoyed making jewelry for years. But for the last two years with a new focus on using jump rings as the primary component, Carla's jewelry has grown into a business called Duncan Designs.
Roger has joined the collaboration by producing all of the rings from different types and gauges of wire. Roger's love of rocks and stones, as well as his attention to detail, has broadened Carla's work. They have studied at the William Holland Lapidary School in Georgia and with Adam Foster in St. Louis

 | Artist: Feathered Friends
Adding a touch of the Coast, but with his own personal flair, is Midwest artisan John Freise. He is a native of St. Louis, Missouri who migrated to the beautiful hills of southern Missouri, where he lives with his wife, Susan and family of rescued pets. There he pursues his art of carving and designing birds. His love for nature from an early age has remained constant, and through his journey in life realized that God had given him the gift to find his feathered friends in a piece of wood.

John primarily uses white cedar in combination with oil paints to capture a primitive, aged feel and look. His work includes a special edition called the "Old Missouri Series." This involves the use of reclaimed wood retrieved from circa 1800 - 1900 log homes and barns throughout rural Missouri.

 | Artist: Ginny Herzog
Glass staircases with steel cable railings; corrugated metal roofs against stucco facades; exteriors of commercial buildings nestled between stainless appliances in kitchens with sleek, wood cabinetry; window views with disappearing city skylines; shelving units with file cabinets underneath steel beams; hallways disappearing through doorways – all are examples of architectural elements which appear as distorted images in my abstract mixed media paintings. Architecture has been the inspiration for my art for over twenty years.
