Featured Artists
MoonForest Studio
Fiber Artist from Cincinnati, Ohio
Fiber artist Sarah Miller of MoonForest Studio has been turning wispy piles of wool fiber into sophisticated and colorful objects of art through the process of needle felting for over ten years. Similar to her background in clay, felting is a very tactile process that allows a piece to develop over time, with the added benefit of immediate color, a huge inspiration! Sarah has been traveling and selling her work at outdoor art shows for many years, and you may have seen her work in the pages of Somerset Studio Holiday or Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Craft.
Cozy Cottage Ceramics

The owner of Cozy Cottage Ceramics is passionate about her craft and takes great pride in creating unique and beautiful pieces that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Each piece is carefully crafted by hand, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. The company offers a wide range of products, including mugs, bowls, vases, and decorative pieces.
Patrick Jilbert
Painter from Louisville, Kentucky
Patrick Jilbert is an artist driven by the pure enjoyment of creating. His work celebrates the DIY spirit, making art for the sheer fun of it and reveling in the shared joy of creation.
Though art captivated him from an early age, Patrick resisted the confines of formal art education, preferring to forge his own path. Ironically, it was a gift of art supplies from his sister, an art teacher, that reignited his passion in high school, and he has been creating ever since.
Patrick’s wooden cut-outs draw inspiration from reptilian creatures, historical themes, and song lyrics. His work often brings a sense of playfulness and offers a subtle, subconscious commentary on the world around us.
Trollbinde
Jewelry Artist from Burnsville, North Carolina
The Origin- Trollbinde (pronounced 'trahl-BINDA) means "to spellbind” in Norwegian and Swedish. Our jewelry focuses on what it means to be feminine with a purity of intention and design. Owner and artist, Hannah Black, sees the world through an ethereal and multi-cultural lens that inspires her rite-of-passage creations for daily wear and special occasions. Her works are intended to be the transformative piece of any ensemble.
The Evolution- Trollbinde breathes new life into abandoned materials from shuttered manufacturing mills. A systematic process of transforming discarded bits and reimagining their otherworldly potential results in decorative and potent talismans and sacred symbols you can put on as part of your everyday armor. Combined with selected gemstones and earthly materials, Trollbinde produces modern majestic artifacts for any of your life's journeys.
The Artist- Hannah's exuberant passion for the expression of the human spirit emerges through her creation of adornments. She is deeply attuned to the natural and spiritual worlds and captures their unfolding in her aesthetic. As a woman connected and drawn to narrative, Hannah's collections express rich and complex stories developed from personal experience. What makes her work universally appealing for those who know what they are looking for to those who aren't sure until they experience it, is Hannah's deep commitment to staying true to herself. It's a quiet force that draws you in and keeps you interested in what's coming next.
Julie Latayan
Ceramic Sculptor from Edgewater, Florida
Julie Latayan is a Florida based artist who has spent years perfecting her sculpture skills. As a self-taught artist, Julie began her career as a painter and muralist. Her love of art and the wish to share her talents with others led her to teach high school art for five years. She later opened her own gallery/studio. As a successful painter, Julie sought to expand her talents and became fascinated with sculpture. She loves the dimensional possibilities of clay that is not inherent to 2-Dimensional painting. Currently, Julie has merged her painting skills with ceramic sculpture, creating fresh new forms. In this way, Julie finds she expresses herself in both color and shape. She sculpts and fires the clay, cold finishing her pieces in acrylic paint. Her inspiration comes from the rich diversity of humanity’s quirks and emotions. Julie feels a heartbeat in every piece of clay and works to bring it to life in a clever and unique way.
