Gus Beck: Wire Bird Sculpture

“Every year when the snow starts flying, the snowbirds fly away to warmer places, only to return in the spring alongside the shorebirds and cranes. I recognize the importance of seasonal movement while also creating a way to have a bird friend in sight year-round. In this project I have tried to mimic their forms as they first appear gliding back into Homer.”

Marketa Beck: Stamped Fabric Wallets

“I like playing with colors and fabric craft techniques to create simple, practical objects for everyday use. Each piece is a combination of embroidered, dyed or upcycled fabric scraps with a prevalence of Japanese geometric patterns. I am thrilled and grateful to be a part of the 2022 Community Supported Art project and curious about what else the “magic box” will offer this year.”

Karyn Murphy: Handbound Book

“Experiencing Kachemak Bay is such a privilege. I feel compelled to share the wonders that I observe with others, especially with art. Even the smallest plant or animal is a part of a larger understanding and working of the world we live in—everything is interconnected.”

Tony Perelli: Carved Wooden Spice Bowl

“I’ve pursued art and craft through a variety of workshops and apprentice-like relationships that focused on ceramics, woodturning and wood carving.
Participation in the CSA is exciting to me as a chance to operate as a contributing member of the vibrant Homer area community which Bunnell stewards.”

Sarah Sims: Ceramic Mug

“Nature is a common influence of many artists. The connection with nature and clay to handmade pots elevates day to day life and can be witness to a beautiful, therapeutic dance. It brings me great joy to know, when one of my pots is held or even seen, it’s uniqueness is felt. The form and function of the piece is satisfying. The movements of texture and design I create with sgraffito and carving the clay is fulfilling. Seeing others enjoy it is gratifying.”

Susanne Ratcliffe Wilson: Sandhill Crane Glass dishes

“Cranes have survived on the earth for 35 million years. When I moved to Homer, Alaska, I became fascinated by the sandhill cranes who migrate here in the spring. I am inspired by their beauty, their resilience and their adaptability. Before I became a glass artist, I was a painter. Today I create painterly images of sandhill cranes in glass.”
