Ann Osenga says, "I am a self taught trompe l'oeil artist with no formal training. Some reactions to my work have been, a cat trying to jump onto a sink in a pedestal sink painting, a dog tried to walk through a painting of a door ajar, a lady attempted to hang her coat on a coat rack, a child wanting a balloon in a painting I did of balloons in flight, a woman learned over and tried to wipe a string off a jacket. Reactions as these tell me I have accomplished my goal, I truly fooled the eye."

Much more than adornment, the exotic one of kind jewelry creations by Margaret Thurman lend the wearer an aura of glamour. Called "Echo of the Dreamer," the business owned by Margaret and her husband, strives to make each piece of jewelry more magical than the one before. Her pieces have appeared on the cover of Glamour Magazine and have been featured in Women's Wear Daily. Using elegant stones such as chunks of rutilated quartz, precious tourmalines, fossils and rare druzies, Margaret artfully creates sculptural pieces, set in sterling silver.

For over a decade, Jo Marz has combined unusual imported and domestic materials, semiprecious stones and unique findings to create highly collectible designs that are hand crafted by artisans in Texas.

Each limited edition object is designed by Jo Marz and made by artisans working in her art studio. The stone boxes are hand made and the stopper pourer's are nickel so they never need polishing!

Jo Marz began in 1986 by designing and constructing (by hand) museum quality American craft jewelry and gift items with imported and domestic materials. She is one of the few remaining American designers producing hand made items in the United States.

The Reve Collection is the work of Don and Elizabeth Buck of Arizona, both of whom design and produce the distinctive jewelry in silver and gold set with semi-precious stones.
