Jeri Bee
Jewelry
Jeri Bee is an Oregon-based jewelry artist and poet, creating handcrafted silver pieces paired with original poetry. Her work explores the relationship between material and meaning, where silversmithing and the written word come together as parallel languages. She is drawn to the quiet dialogue between stone, metal, and text—allowing form and verse to inform one another in an intuitive exchange.
Rooted in nature and the fluid movement of water, her work reflects themes of reflection, passage, and personal evolution. Organic textures and raw minerals echo the rhythms of the natural world and the inner landscape alike.
Each piece holds a story—something to wear, to carry, and to return to. By weaving poetry into her jewelry, Jeri creates pieces that invite connection, reflection, and a sense of personal meaning.
Lauren Costley
Painting
I create small, original 5×7 watercolor paintings that are meant to be shared as cards. Inspired by rural landscapes, farm animals, and seasonal flowers, my work reflects the shifting moods of nature, from stormy skies to light, joyful days. Each piece is individually hand painted, allowing every card to remain a unique, original work of art rather than a reproduction. Through watercolor’s fluidity and color, I aim to capture quiet moments in the natural world and transform them into small paintings that can travel from one person to another.
Brynn Kesgard

Brynn uses nature as inspiration for her designs, and her imagination and curiosity help guide her as she solders , hammers, stamps, bends, and cut
Taylor Wells
photography
Growing up in Oregon meant living within view of extraordinary landscapes and people. Much of my youth was spent outdoors—camping, hiking, and exploring the Pacific Northwest—which sparked a lifelong desire for travel and adventure. I am drawn to photography for its ability to preserve unnoticed moments and shift perspective. As a deaf individual, I understand the power of visual language to connect people, build community, and inspire empathy. Through my work, I hope to create images that encourage understanding, reflection, and change.
Lisa McCutcheon
Painting (Acrylic Pour Artist), Jewlery
I work with Acrylic paints, being a pour artist my paint composition is more fluid. With it being so fluid it has a silky feel to it. At the same time it’s extremely playful and can be down right finicky, especially when you’re trying to achieve a certain look. I love how each piece you’re never 100% sure it’s going to go the way you want it. This aspect adds a challenge to your creativity. Fluid Acrylic is a perfect medium for exploring, extermination, bold colors, getting cells to pop and adding lacing due to to the different consistency of your paint. It can have some extreme outcomes with insane textures.
