Looking Back, Your Favorites from 2025
My creative focus for 2025 was "communities" and I think we really delivered. We really wanted to connect with y'all in person as much as possible this year, and to that end we worked a whopping 56 market days in 2025.
Here are y'alls favorite products from 2025:
Most popular mini-print: Tufted Titmouse and Beautyberry
Most popular 13x19: Kingfisher in Flight
Most popular notecards: Eno River, Light
Most popular Mini-journal: Golden Summer
Most popular Wallpaper: Low Country Egret
We also collaborated with a number of local (and national) non-profits. Here are a few examples of how we got involved:
- Worked with the Durham Arts Council to create a limited edition design celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Centerfest.
- Responded to local flooding from Chantal with support for the Orange County arts Commission, and The Expedition School--donating artwork to fundraisers, helping with classroom cleanout, and creating NSPH care packages for staff.
- Teamed up with my fellow artists and the Durham Craft Market to create a "market for the mountains" event, supporting ongoing Helene recovery so badly needed in WNC.
- Donated use of my artwork to Triangle Land Conservancy for event branding as part of their upcoming "Force for Nature" Gala. (Note: This event is happening this weekend and the silent auction is open now!)
- Raised over $5000 for endangered Red Wolves and was honored to have my work featured by the Center for Biological Diversity)
A few personal highlights for me were seeing my kids take a leadership role with customers at my annual Open Studio event, and finally installing solar on our roof!
Thanks for making 2025 a true year of community!
