Candace Jean: Victorian Grace
Looking at the illustrations of local artist Candace Jean is a way to transport us to a magical realm where creatures take on human characteristics, where botanical fauna morph into faces or where bugs are crowned as royalty. Her work touches on the creepy and strange, but not in a horrific way: Think gothic classicism
Impartworks: Craft Lake City Artisan
Impartworks impartworks.com Two years ago, Sacha Mercier took an unprecedented leap of faith into the world of functional design and community-centric craftsmanship.
