Maka Le Wakan is from the Sioux language meaning The Earth is Sacred. I make nature inspired objects for the home using just about any materials I find around me. I'm also a mixed media artist so I'm constantly on the look out for materials to use in my work. I used to be an interior designer, hence my love for decorative objects. I live in an isolated part of France with my partner and 4 cats, surrounded by old volcanoes, lakes and forests which is what inspires me both in creating these objects and my paintings. It's 1 hour from any shops so I've learned to be very inventive and I've certainly become better at improvising since I've lived here! It's also quite cold so many hours are spent in front of the fire just making things and being creative.

As Sweet As Tupelo Honey
31 inches tall
I am one in an anthology of men and women, boys and girls, believers who were meant to be celebrated & remembered–a girl, plunked down in these hills, just trying to get this right–just trying to take in all that I can possibly take in and at the same time, give all that I can give, in whatever form that may be. - Rebecca Miller Campbell

Dream a Little Dream of Me

I’ve always dreamed of landscapes.
However, although their photographic representation
has been very well achieved by a number of artists,
it eventually hits a limit.
A landscape goes well beyond its strict representation.
It is an invitation.
I think it’s an invitation to dream, to reach poetry

each element its usefulness, every scene tells a story - Al Magnus

Life's a Kinda Circus
When Pigs Fly"My paintings are raw and unapologetic questions about life and human beings; one person's emotional and intellectual world-view expressed in visual terms. I try to speak simply and still say something." - Molly Hill

The Girl Can't Help It
'My work is a multi-level evolution of vivid color, playful shapes, textural fragments and long forgotten photographic images of nonchalant figures. Each layer is a moment , a new thought, sometimes revealing what came before and at other times hidden as the momentum continues.' - Melody Postma
