Local artist Deb Henderson's new work @ • blais • rustic chic...

Stop by • blais • rustic chic to see what

Michigan City artist Deb Henderson

has been up to lately...

 

"Penelope was disappointed with the response

to her personal ad" is our favorite

new work by Deb.  Come see just

what kind of mangy characters responded

to Penelope's ad.

Penelope might not have a thing for crows,

but Deb does...

Here's one she did for our barn

When Deb saw our Maggie & Lulu

chase the local wildlife she

came up with this...

From her new series of musicians on

canvas dropcloths...

We're still carrying her "birds of Michigan" series

Deb does amazing murals.

Here's some detail from the ones

she did for the guest quarters

in our barn

and deb has a message for all of us for getting by 

in these turbulent times...

WHEN YOU'VE GOT IT, FLAUNT IT ...

Blais is thrilled to be featuring the art of Sara Spanjers.  Sara puts a lifetime of artistic and professional experience into her artwork. 

 Sara was born and raised in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and currently lives in Tucson Arizona. 

 Her work embraces the Southwest, but her Midwestern roots are an evident influence in her art. Her pieces explore multiple subject matters through mixed media found object collages.  The essence of her art will capture your heart.

  

repurposed, renewed and redesigned with you in mind!

when you've got it, flaunt it!
