Artistic Family

Designs by Baerreis is the Baerreis family’s collaborative art endeavor.  Visitors to one of the display spaces are greeted by one of the artists whose work is for sale. There is no gap between the visitor and the artists.

Collectively, the family space showcases original work and skill honed from decades of experience. Every item in the gallery is made by the artists. 

Phil & Martha are known, since 1972, for their functional, sculpted wood art boxes, puzzle boxes, hand-carved traditional chignon pins, puzzles, wooden kitchen tools, and whimsical folk toys and sculptures. Elisabeth fashions beautiful jewelry in fused glass. Her wirework is stunning – incorporating gemstones, beads,  sterling silver, copper, and brass wire. Her popular sun catchers and mobiles make charming gifts. She also works in watercolor, acrylic, and alcohol ink. Nathan is a visual artist and a working photographer, sculptor, and painter.
