Movement. Balance. Change.

I create hanging mobiles (kinetic sculpture) from stone, metal & acrylic materials in a wide range of sizes. My stone mobiles include agates, geodes & fossils; the acrylic type are available in any color. I'd like to present my work as an alternative to traditional sculpture & wall art--my mobiles utilize the frequently neglected spaces above. My sculptures interact with the viewer & the environment through endless transformations.

Please imagine my work in motion.

2023 Booth # 93B

I layer colored clay to create images that are stretched and reduced from 6 inch diameter to a 1 inch diameter or smaller. Then this "millefiori cane" is sliced to reveal the miniature image. These tiny images are then combined together to create my sculptures. I also use many other clay techniques including transfer of my own drawings. Found objects, wire, glitter and other materials are also used.

2019 Booth # 85

Hand watercolored & hand printed, linoleum block prints.

For creating the linoleum block prints the process consists of transferring a sketch onto a linoleum block from a reference photo or sketch. The artist then hand carves the linoleum block. The artist prints the block with watercolor paper, on a tabletop pilot press. The prints are each hand painted, signed and numbered.

The prints are framed in barn wood, by the artist, from material collected from old farm buildings.

Serigraphy. (silk-screening) I make a drawing, cut stencils for each color and hand print my signed and numbered limited editions. My work is about nature, animals and places I travel to. Often people tell me they feel really good in my booth and this makes it worthwhile for me too.

2019 booth #

I travel the USA and the world in search of compelling landscapes to capture photographically. My images are then printed using pigment inks on heavy watercolor paper, whose edges are then deckled, and the prints float-mounted into hand-made maple frames made by me; and finally, varnished for protection.
My work is an evolution is seeing quiet beauty, in out of-the-way places. I am continually refining my vision.

2017 booth # 32A

I hand print my photographs on fiber paper and mount them onto painted birch panels. I add lacquer, UV coating and hand pour resin over the whole piece. This adds depth and a clean finish. I also hand transfer my photos onto white marble. The paper is removed and I add multiple layer of acrylic to the surface. Cork is then added to the back. These can be used as coasters or small pieces of affordable art.

2017 booth #.

Most of my photographs were taken in the moving clouds and mist, which result in strong pictorial effects. They express the exquisite and tranquility of nature. I try to merge the tradition with the modern, the East with the West. The more you look at my works, the more you will enjoy them and relax yourself.

All my works are produced using traditional photography techniques and tools. Some of my works are combinations of two or three negatives. I have tried to show in my works special atmosphere, best pictorial layout accurate colors. Rich layers and finest framing.

2023 Booth #103

Jamie Heiden lives in the beautiful Driftless area of western Wisconsin. For as long as she can remember, she has been a collector of images. She stores them in her mind; she captures them with her camera. For her, pictures really can tell a story. Life’s simplicity is her inspiration and conveying that story is her goal. 

Jamie is a photographer first. But when she sits down at her computer, the beginnings unfold. Her finished images contain multiple photographic layers using tasks once performed in the darkroom, now tools she has at her fingertips on the computer.  What would have taken hours years ago can be done and then undone in half the time, not necessarily making the completed process any shorter but allowing for ten times the amount of experimenting within.  

All of her work contains multiple photographic layers combined digitally. She works on each individual layer.  Of course all images are Jamie's and no filters are used in the process. The end result is an image ever-so-slightly removed from traditional photography.

We recently became grandparents, and we are over the moon with love!

My photographs are created using a variety of basic equipment including a digital camera, various lenses and always a tripod. However, my latest body of botanical images has been created in studio using a full quite of strobe lighting and a precision screw driven macro rail for focus stacking. Images created this way allow for extreme detail and focus control and involve shooting and stitching together up to 200 individual captures. Software is used to assist with the final stacking.

 Nature and still life photographs offered on paper and canvas. I perform all steps of the process!
