Steven and Karen create unique unique accents for your home and garden from agricultural items.

The process begins by gathering unique agricultural pieces often from the horse-drawn era.  These pieces are collected from auction sales, by invitation to old barns or by "pickers".  Items are disassembled, cleaned, painted and re-purposed .  Any lumber that is used is selected for its interesating grain and colour.

Steven and Karen also reuse barn boards and mouldings in their sunbursts and bird houses.  Broken rakes, hoes and shovels become birds and frogs.

All discarded materials are combined to create conversation pieces for the home and garden.

An experimentalist of different fibres and materials, and a keen sense of texture equals artistic pieces.

My creativity stems from an innate desire to marry my quilting heritage with my love of different fibres and textures.  Sources of stimuli vary from day to day - gardening, listening to the radio, or conversations with friends andd family.  I allow my daily interactions with nature to influence the works I create.  The results provide me with a sense of peace and deep satisfaction as I am able to capture those moments with fibres and quilting, each piece a testament of the unique blend of the two approaches.
