Growing up in Evergreen, Colorado in the 70’s and 80’s, she briefly left to attend college at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, OR earning a degree in Biology, thinking she would be a wildlife biologist. After college, she returned to Colorado in Crested Butte where she spent 15 years in various seasonal jobs and covering many miles of trails both snowy and dry. In 2013 She decided to shift gears and started her journey into woodworking and furniture making with a short course at the California College of Art. She continued her training at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Rockport, Maine and for two years, she learned the trade of furniture making. She moved permanently from Colorado to Maine in 2015 and started creating small household\/kitchen objects out of her garage studio. In 2018 she started experimenting more with bending wood and exploring sculptural wall hangings. She now focuses on one of a kind pieces for the home as well as large scale installations for commercial spaces.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Qr7Oae\" role=\"listitem\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"OxAavc NVbRL\" data-required=\"true\" data-item-id=\"1414294795\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" jsname=\"ibnC6b\" jscontroller=\"rDGJeb\" jsaction=\"sPvj8e:e4JwSe,Dlbleb;O22p3e:e4JwSe,F0zejc;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Ih4Dzb\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"q4tvle JqSWld yqQS1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"q4tvle JqSWld yqQS1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis collection of work representing the textures, colors and shapes from Maine's natural landscape\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Karina Steele","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464536375575,"sku":"210000037831","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/2101\/files\/Quarry_5081207f-8ee8-4840-8c3d-61b4baddc7b8.jpg?v=1701097727"},{"product_id":"the-lightning-keri-kimura","title":"The Lightning","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKeri Kimura explores color through layered paintings that shift between landscape and abstraction to explore memory and the subconscious.

When I set out, I look for a place that feels familiar and if I manage to find it, a tenderness drives the process. I find that places can hold a kind of charge–an emotional history–like when you return to a place you’ve frequented and as you explore, past experiences in that place unfold from memory. The painting becomes a reaction to both the visual and emotional space of moments past and present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis collection of paintings was created during my transition to motherhood and they required me to find new ways to communicate and explore the landscapes I love within the walls of my studio space. My plein air season ended early last year as I navigated the limitations of a difficult pregnancy. My adventures to paint the marshes at Plum Island got shorter and less frequent, and eventually I finished the season exclusively in the studio. I returned to photos of landscapes I painted earlier in the summer when I was at full capacity. Exploring these familiar scenes in the studio gave me the opportunity to slow down and do more manipulating than observing. I compressed value ranges to explore tonal palettes. I cropped and stretched my photos to compose with deep foregrounds and high horizon lines. The studio offers more control than working outside, where I am required to navigate the elements and time pressure, and that sense of control was a comfort in a moment of significant personal change. Like all paintings, these have become personal artifacts of this season in my life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Bri Custer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48939105026327,"sku":"210000039944","price":700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/2101\/files\/Custer_Endeavor_Framed.jpg?v=1717602528"},{"product_id":"studio-interior-jeremy-miranda","title":"Studio Interior","description":"\u003cp\u003eJeremy Miranda grew up in Middletown, RI.

In this season of my practice, I’m finding that my plein air and studio work can (and must) exist in the same body of work. The problems I stumble upon in the field can be investigated during a nap time studio session, and when I get overly precious in the studio, the urgency I feel while painting en plein air can help. These two areas of my work do not exist in isolation; they inform one another. The smaller paintings in this show (12” x 12” and 8” x 10”) were made on location at Wagon Hill Farm in Durham, NH. The larger ones (24” x 24” and 24” x 30”) were cultivated in the studio in response to my days outside.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bri Custer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50647516905751,"sku":"210000045407","price":3400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/2101\/files\/InfiniteJoyframededit.jpg?v=1753886957"},{"product_id":"smoked-bri-custer","title":"Smoked","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBri Custer is a plein air painter investigating perception, memory, and color through the New England Landscape.

In the few seconds between looking from the landscape to the canvas, my brain has formed an imperfect short-term memory of that subject, as is true for any artist trying to translate the world without a photographic memory to support them. I use the lapses that occur between observing my subject and marking my canvas as invitations to invent color and space. I relish the opportunity to lay down a wildly bold pink or exaggerate a slant of light to the point of distortion. In this body of work, I am experimenting with limited palettes and compressed value ranges.
