Artist Details
In 2015, David Baer took the leap from working as a creative director/graphic designer to finally listening to his heart to become a "maker" full time. He and his wife, Linda, own Reveal Original, a furniture, lighting, home accessories and sculpture design and manufacturing studio with an industrial style mixing hardwoods, metal and reclaimed materials. They specialize in handcrafted pieces custom made to be functional, durable and versatile.

Dyan Padgett received a BA in Studio Art from DePauw University and an additional five years of rigorous, academic study at The Atelier in Minneapolis. Her work combines the fine drawing and design of the European Academic tradition with a vibrant and more contemporary composition and color sensibility, seamlessly blending the classical with the current. She is interested in art as a vehicle for bringing awareness to our natural environment while building community.
