MORE ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Julia Skerry www.skerryart.blogspot.com/

Julia mixes her favorite techniques in creating one-of-a-kind collages on wood blocks and sets of ceramic tiles varying in color and pattern depending on her applications of paint, photos, fabric and other inspiring objects. The coasters are padded with cork and sealed with a resin varnish that withstands hot drinking cups.

Marie Gunton www.mariegunton.com/

For Marie "image is everything". She not only frames her visions well in beautiful fine art wall decor and art cards, her creativity is applied to practical forms of art as well. Some of her most entertaining images are captured on tile coaster and magnets. Plus, check out her 'out-of-print' aprons and pot holders. THEY ARE HOT!

Marla Schroeder-Swade
www.artbymarla.com
Marla's mission is to preserve history through her art. Her "Neon Collection" is essentially documentation of eras past. Her collage paintings incorporate photos of irreplaceable vintage signage unique to present or alias business in the greater Portland area as well as other major cities. Available for purchase are original collage paintings, signed limited edition prints and open edition prints.
