Art, design, teaching, rustic furniture – we bridge the graphic and fine art worlds and bring years of expertise to both. I am more involved in the design and teaching end of things, while both Tom and I paint. Creating beautiful rustic furniture is Tom’s department, along with building all the frames for our paintings. Most of our frames are created using cedar milled from our own forest. Tom selects the trees and takes them to a sawyer for milling. Tom does the finishing, leaving the frames rough finished and apply stain to customize the look.

So, all in all, art and design keep us both pretty busy. We look forward to showing you our work!
Mary & Tom

Our studio is located in Spencerville, Ontario, which is off Highway 416 south of Ottawa. In 1990 Tom and I purchased an old stone home, which Tom has renovated beautifully. In 1995, Tom built the studio, a 20 x 36 building separate from our house. The studio gives us space to work and teach, plus my office and Tom's woodworking equipment in the walk-out basement.
