Whimsical art creations from AliceArt for Santa Barbara Design Studios.

Alice has been creating her whimsical artware for as long as she can remember. A native of Little Rock Arkansas, she attributes her laugh-out-loud art to her Southern roots and her experiences and associations with the unforgettable and amazing characters she has encountered throughout her life. Each by Alice Art tells its own story, making it a true conversation piece. Alice believes that function and fun are key to her work-she states, “this is art that is meant to be used and enjoyed!”
Each glass arrives in an adorable colored gift box Each stem has its own personality based on the “Name” of the stem and the play on words. Every piece tells it’s own story making it a true conversation piece at any occasion. Alice believes that function and fun are key to her work – This is art that is meant to be USED!

“If at the end of the day AliceArt makes you smile, even just a little, we are a success – Cheers!” Alice

Nature’s creations are the ultimate Art
that fills our hearts with joy, warms our
souls with promise and fuels our spirits
with desire. My true inspiration to
reflect this beauty is what my Art is all about.”
- Michael Michaud

Artist Michael Michaud, designer of the Silver Seasons jewelry collection, combined his love of nature and exceptional knowledge of precious metal casting and model making to create wonderful giftware and tabletop items.
Table Art is truly a collaboration of creative and design talents.
Combining his love of nature and exceptional knowledge of precious metal casting and model making, Michael Michaud has created wonderful tabletop and giftware items. His exquisite use of layering colors of gold, silver and copper on bronze and pewter, give the Table Art collection an elegant and unique look all its own.
Michael Michaud explores the same sensitivity with nature in his Table Art pieces as he does in his Silver Seasons jewelry collection. The ability to expand nature’s creations in various mediums has added to the successful growth of the Table Art division.
Michael Michaud is a highly respected artist. He blends an exceptional items making skill with his true appreciation for nature including flowers, fruits, plants, berries, leaves and sealife.

The base metal used throughout the collection is primarily pewter in either its natural coloration or, gold plated. Other metals used are sterling silver and brass. Freshwater pearls, glass beads and semi precious stones are used on certain designs within the collection.
Michael Michaud’s napkin rings, sugar and creamer sets, serving spoons, vases and miniature boxes look like they’ve tumbled out of a fairy tale. Each piece of this botanical tableware collection is crafted from a branch, leaf or fruit. Molten pewter is poured into a lost wax mold, a wash of silver or gold over copper is applied, and the results are astonishing. Variations occur in each piece. All pieces are lead free and food safe.
