Eric Ketelsen has created a contemplative and expansive body of art employing unique methods fueled by experimentation and improvisation. Each piece, often humble and of modest means, conveys an unconventional notion of beauty in the faded, worn and imperfect; wed with a certain precision of our modern world.

Steve Ozone's Prairie SmokeSteve Ozone is a still photographer and a documentary film maker. A former commercial photographer, Steve is a third generation Japanese-Chinese American.
He began to explore his ancestral history through photography while visiting New York and San Francisco Chinatowns, and Mexican and Hmong markets. The food he ate sparked memories of relatives and inspired him to explore the immigration experience.
“I’ve concluded produce tells the true story of assimilation, adaptation and integration.”
Mary Pow is a visual artist who works in two mediums: textiles and soft pastels. Her sewn fabric textile art is vibrant and abstract. Mary has a Masters of Architecture, and it is through this unique lens that the architectural qualities are instantly recognizable.

Jairid Rossow is from rural Minnesota. His oil paintings intentionally bring a heartfelt perspective to classical realism. His Midwest landscapes - sprawling fields, quiet rivers, and vibrant urban corners - pulse with gentle hues and luminous clarity, transforming familiar scenes into quiet revelations. His still lifes elevate everyday objects with playful charm and meticulous detail.

Mike Wohnoutka is an award-winning illustrator of more than thirty children’s books, six of which he also authored. His work has earned numerous honors, including the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award and two Minnesota Book Awards. Between book projects, Mike enjoys painting “just for the fun of it.” While he often revisits his favorite subjects - frogs, pears, birds, and things from his garden - Mike tries something new with each piece. Whether it’s the mood of a bird, the color palette of the cityscape, or the scale of a frog.

Clay vaseAmy Von Bargen’s clay pieces are hand built from slabs of stoneware. Using slabs allows her to construct pots into interesting shapes and designs that have a contemporary aesthetic.
Texture and lines on the pots surface interact with the glazes so that the variation of color enhances the design. They are high-fired to produce durable pieces that she hopes are used frequently to add beauty to everyday.
Daffodil LampJane and Ralph Salier began creating Tiffany-style stained lamps in 2005. The glass comes from a few art glass makers in Pennsylvania, New Mexico and Indiana.
They carefully select each sheet of unique glass themselves. Most of the bases are reclaimed antiques, and they prefer to leave the 100-year-old patina intact reflecting originality and beauty.
Leaf EarringsAlison Wendy’s jewelry is inspired by the natural world and the movement within it. She combines form and function, crafting pieces not only for beauty but also meaningful and whole.
Recently she has expanded to larger pieces – mobiles and suncatchers – an extension of her jewelry. “Working with metal is a unique experience…the process feels both powerful and intimate, each piece telling its own story.
