Letters are my art! My main priority is my family and being a good mom. Cancer support and mental health awareness are near to my heart. I got started with my business by donating to these causes.
Betsy Hobkirk Art
I am passionate about the outdoors and paint botanicals, landscapes and riverscapes while playing with color, shape and abstraction. My most recent paintings are inspired by hiking and biking in Knoxville Urban Wilderness Areas. My artwork often starts with organic imagery connected to nature but, as each piece develops, I allow myself to stray from my initial ideas to develop new connections and insights. For inquires about original artwork contact me directly at betsyhobkirkart@gmail.com. For prints see my website www.betsyhobkirk.com

Tried By Fire Studio
I was the kid who used to draw on herself. A creative from a young age. When I got older, I fell in love with pottery! I started college for Business Management in 2017 and became the production glazer at McQueen Pottery the same year. After 4 years of learning the trade, I left to pursue my own vision in 2022. Now, I draw on pottery and that makes my inner child pretty dang happy.
Beastie and Bone
Growing up, I dreamed of becoming a paleontologist or National Geographic photographer, but chronic health issues soon pulled me away from these possibilities. So I turned to art to stay close to the natural world I love. After studying illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design, I lived in several regions of the United States, and North American flora and fauna became the focus of my work. Now, I create dimensional "paper taxidermies" of endangered, unusual, and extinct species, and digital illustrations and design focused on conservation, hope, and natural history in my tiny home-studio in Knoxville, TN.

Hi, I am Kate owner, artist, maker and designer at KateKreates. I have a passion for drawing and design and love to use my images in creating new products. My favorite subjects are whimsical, positive images from nature. I began by putting my images on greeting cards and selling them on Etsy in 2014. Since then my business has expanded and evolved enormously. Although I no longer put my art on cards I am always looking for unique and "in demand" products to enhance. It is such a pleasure to do what I love everyday.

Annamaria Gundlach
Each of my clay sculptures has its own voice which speaks as I create them. As a figurative artist I'm fascinated by the female form and its impact on art and religion throughout history. Nature is my inspiration and female is nature. I am constantly finding ways to work large and make my figures reflect their sensuality and strength and connection to the earth. I also burnish and pit-fire my work so the smoke ages and mutes the colors with a patina that has a haunting suggestion of lost and forgotten eras of time. I refer to my work as "modern artifacts". This oxymoron reflects my contradictory intent of modern elegance achieved with primitive methods. I hope that my work makes one feel connected to the past, to the earth and to the universal mystery of existence.

My photography is inspired by color, bold simplicity, unique beauty, and collaboration! With every project, I partner with my client to define their need, the audience, and the look and feel we are working to achieve in the images.
