Wise Owl Artworks
“I’ve always believed that enchantment is all around us! Recently I began to work in paper and photographic collage to express my belief that magic can appear wherever we look. Beauty, mystery, whimsy, nature and fantasy can inspire solace, wonder and joy and I create captivating images in collage to share this understanding with others. I sell my original artworks as well as giclee prints, totes and canvas bags, home decor, and other gifts and accessories.”

Darlene Ritter
“I am an abstract expressionist painter living in Phoenix, Arizona. My art work is on display at several Arizona locations. I love sharing my art with others. My ideas are created on the spot with no outside influence.”
Jen Sterling
“Color has always had a profound influence on my mood. Creating work that is fluid, that inspires energy and excitement, vitality and confidence: this gives me the greatest artistic satisfaction. I work primarily in acrylics. I don’t play it safe. My art should ignite the same excitement I felt when painting it. If my work helps someone start the day with a zing, stirs a fond memory, or refreshes the senses, then I’ve succeeded.”
Carol McDonald Contemporary Design
“I have always been drawn to abstract art. There’s something about the color, texture and flow of a particular piece that pulls me into it. I love how abstract art is so subjective–a piece may touch me in ways that words can’t describe, and yet for another person, there is no emotional connection. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, indeed!”

Teri Kman
“After a decade as a graphic designer for advertising and promotions, I felt I needed a new challenge. Having loved science as a high school student, I decided to return to college to earn a degree in natural resources conservation, which led me to wildlife biology. I invite you to consider the scale of my artwork. Is that a lion’s head, or a pattern? Paisley or a shark? An abstraction or a face?”
Morgan Lael
“My passion for art is inspired by culture and nature. I’ve been creating my entire life and I am very grateful to partner with VIDA. Their zero-waste and mission driven vision resonates with my values regarding fashion and it’s global impact.”
Adriane Dedic
“I have always been fascinated by the beautiful line quality in Japanese wood block prints and try to capture a sense of that perfect line in many of my art pieces. In my most recent mixed media creations, I use fabric and paper shapes to form artistic lines that become richer through textures and embellishments. Themes and images change but often include female figures, geisha, birds, and gardens.”
