Our Artists

Janice Hayes-Cha

Vibrant, mixed media collages from recycled greeting cards. While recovering from my second bout of cancer in my early forties, I looked at a big box of get well cards by my bed and started making small collages inspired by all the flowers that friends sent me.

Now I collect cards from all over and create art that captures the quirky beauty of my favorite places and gives new life to the sentiments expressed in the cards.

Janice’s work has depth and texture, and reveals surprises for the astute observer. She loves to capture the complexity of iconic places in both her hometown of Boston, where she lives now, and her second love, Philadelphia, where she launched her art career.

Dana Herbert

Dana Herbert lives in Portland, Oregon where her line is designed and manufactured since 1998. Her daughter, Hannah, joined Dana in recent years and their collaborative efforts are expansive, inspiring and fun!

With a lifelong love of textiles and color, this dedicated mother and daughter team show up each season with fresh new scarves and ponchos in styles that vary from perfectly casual to truly luxurious, as well as cosmetic bags, and aromatherapy eye pillows and heat wraps in gorgeous fabrics AND a line of simple yet modern jewelry with a fabulous mix of semi precious stones, glass beads and metal.

Dana and Hannah travel to New York, LA, and Paris to see what is new and beautiful, looking for materials that will offer their customers something unique and affordable, yet always with a flare for style.

Desert Heart Jewelry

Deb Sparshott is the heart of Desert Heart, a large, lovely line of great jewelry, designed by Deb and aided by a small group of dedicated craftspeople.

“My designs are always a combo of materials. I love contrast and you can see that very clearly in the work. I use a crazy array of stones and pearls, sequins and recycled glass. Acrylic and rubber. Contemporary glass and vintage treasures, shiny metals and gently antiqued ones. If I can include a little sparkle as I go, well, so much the better. Whatever works, whatever catches my eye. Whatever seems right at the time.” They’re all handmade in the US, by a small group of dedicated craftspeople and they always will be!
