We are getting ready to go live tonight and have some fun! Our Love And Jazz Hands Live Stream event is tonight 1-30-26 at 5pm Eastern time! We’ll be chatting it up telling you stories from when Klee and I met. We’ll be showing off some new jewelry and art created with “love” in mind, and playing one of our songs! Oh, we will also be announcing the winner of the giveaway during the stream! So grab something warm and join us tonight for a fun time!
So, the 2026 “Love Is” calendars were officially sold out… YAY! Then I got a phone call from my dad.
He told me he wanted one, and the little kid in me got so excited that my dad actually wanted my art on his wall that I didn’t just order one… well I ordered eleven. It’s more cost effective.
That means both my parents are now officially squared away for 2026, and I have exactly 10 calendars left for the rest of you.
If you missed out the first time, here is your second and absolute last chance to snag one. Once these 10 are gone, they are really gone. Both my parents have theirs now, so the mission is technically accomplished.
Grab yours by visiting the link on our website!

I haven’t posted much the last few days… in case you are wondering, we are still kicking it.
Sooo, I (Rafi) still have no voice and have been in recovery mode. The good news: no COVID, no flu. The official prescription is lots of fluids and a whole lot of rest, and Klee is making sure I don’t push it and actually do what the doctors said.
Since I can’t talk much, I’m letting these little birds do it for me.
I made them on the wood from that tree that came down in our yard (you know the one).
Hopefully they brighten this blustery, wintery day just a bit.
We are ready for The Makers Market Pop-Up at Clifford’s tomorrow Saturday December 13th from 10am – 4pm!
We’re popping up at Clifford’s and bringing the holiday vibes with us! Come hang out, eat something tasty, and browse a collection of art, jewelry, and creative gifts made by your favorite creative humans.
This is the perfect stop if you’re looking for something thoughtful, a little weird, and made with heart. We’ll be there to say hi, chat, and help you find something special for the holidays (or for yourself… because you deserve nice things).
Where: Clifford’s
19 E 1st St, Oil City, PA 16301
Come celebrate the season, support handmade, and spend some time soaking up good art, good drinks, and good company.
Today’s the day!
The opening reception for Whispers of the Artful Traveler at the Manos Gallery is happening from 12–4pm, and it’s going to be a really beautiful show.
Klee and I are bummed that we can’t be there in person today due to health stuff, but we’re definitely there in spirit and we’ll probably be refreshing our phones way too often to see photos. We’re planning to head out and experience the exhibition as soon as we can because there is so much amazing art in this one, and we can’t wait to see it all in person.
If you’re in or around New Kensington, swing by, check out the show, support the artists, and enjoy an afternoon surrounded by creativity and community.
Manos Gallery
200 Freeport Rd, New Kensington, PA 15068
12pm – 4pm
Let me know if you go ! We’d love to hear what piece grabbed you first.
Klee and I are in full holiday-stream prep mode over here!
Tonight at 5pm Eastern, we’re going live for our Holiday Open Studio, and we’re so excited to finally do this again. We missed it last year, and being able to share this with you now means a lot.
We’ve got art and jewelry to show off, a few stories to tell, some music to play, and at 5:30pm we’ll be giving away a $100 gift card to our website!
It’s going to be super laid-back, festive, and fun… exactly what we need right now.
Grab a drink, get cozy, and come hang out with us tonight!

Monumental task achieved! Every single calendar order has officially been shipped out and is now zipping its way to your beautiful walls!
I also hand-delivered a few around town today and I felt like a very awkward, slightly introverted, and way less graceful version of a Christmas elf. I was creeping up to porches, trying to look like I belonged there while trying not to slip in the snow and send calendars flying.
It was definitely a push out of the introvert comfort zone, but totally worth it. Now go forth and plan your year with some awesome art!
Thank you all for the incredible support! Seriously, you keep this whole creatively chaotic machine running. ❤️

It’s the final day of our Interwoven exhibition at The Red Brick Gallery! What an incredible run! Amazing people, beautiful space, and art that feels right at home on these walls. Come celebrate with us one last time today from 4–6 PM for our closing reception before we pack it all up and ride off into the creative sunset (okay, maybe just back to the studio).
Let’s make this last day one to remember!
One of the best parts of showing our work is meeting new creative humans who connect with it. Every conversation, smile, and story shared reminds us why we do what we do… art really does bring people together. That’s why days like today are bittersweet, we’re excited for what’s next, but grateful for every moment we’ve shared in this space.
