About the artists:
Dot Schaphorst:
My name is Dot Schaphorst and I am a proud Hooker. I hook rugs out of wool and dye most of the wool. Nature is my inspiration from a gator sunning himself to our 22-year-old cat and a Carolina Wren hunting for a nesting spot, I’m excited to share a few of the rugs I have hooked over the years.
Suzanne Aulds:
I am a North American artist who specializes in still life and landscape oil painting. Having been raised with an appreciation for nature and a love of beauty, my aim is to translate my unique aesthetic into my work. I am inspired by the natural world, as well as manmade objects, and by how the two may perfectly coexist. My goal is to offer you a point of view that will remind you of the wealth of beauty that surrounds us.
