Honest Woodcraft Business, Decorative Arts, Holidays Shop Local Husband and wife team Jason and Erin created Honest Woodcraft in 1999 with the simple goal of bringing nature home. At Honest Woodcraft our hardwood products are a natural choice for entertaining or commemorating meaningful milestones (weddings, new home, anniversaries, etc) as they are durable, functional and beautiful enough to take center stage. We work exclusively with high-quality natural materials sustainably sourced from local suppliers and we only use non toxic and organic finishes. No petroleum based products, no VOC’s, no kidding! Our home should be a haven, surrounded by natural things of beauty, sourced from the local environment and not tainted by anything toxic or harmful. It seems really simple, and yet, we found it took a lot of "digging" to find where things came from and how they were made. From oak wine barrel staves to Walnut wood stock that’s been seasoned for 20 years in some cases, we are committed to up cycling these pieces to create functional products that highlight the beauty and character they offer. We have a wide selection of products for the kitchen, table and wall art for sale on our Etsy shop. We also welcome custom orders and frequently create one of kind items for employee recognition, Realtor-closing gifts, and company anniversaries.

ImageWorkx.us Fine Crafts, Visual Arts Practically born with a camera in his hand in 1949, Bill Theis started his own photography business at the age of 16 doing portrait, wedding, and commercial photography. Besides being employed as photojournalist for the local newspaper and high school annual, he lettered in Football, not as a player but as the team movie photographer! During these years, Bill was living on a Texas farm where his creative side was nurtured by many abstract images of farm implements and old buildings. His interest in photography never waned while he attended college and post-graduate school, culminating in a PhD in Physics. He then purchased his first view camera when he moved to Ohio, where he photographed the Midwest, the Appalachian Mountains, and Canada which were complemented with annual trips west of the Rockies that began in 1966 and continue to this day. Bill retired from Federal Civil Service and relocated to Sonoma wine country in 2011. Bill’s photographs from over 50 years of dedication to photography can be found internationally in private collections and was selected for inclusion in the permanent collection of the Shanghai Public Library. You can still find Bill out in the wilderness getting excited by the forms he sees in nature.

Jennifer Gildred Art Visual Arts Formerly a Registered Art Therapist, I'm now enjoying spending all of my time working on my art. I work in acrylic and oil paint, mixed media, photography and sculpture. For the past several years, I've been focusing on my painting, primarily abstracts. Currently, I'm drawn to subtle fresco style subject matter. It allows me to focus on simple color washes and shapes in a way that feels meditative and grounding. When I'm not painting in my home studio near Annadel State Park, I'm walking the trails and connecting with nature, where I often find inspiration for my work. If interested in a private studio visit, please email me.

KSRO - Film “Urban Inferno: The Night Santa Rosa Burned”... The early morning Nixle pings on our phones. Sudden banging on our doors from neighbors startling us to reality. The realization that orange and yellow hues of fire were devouring everything in site. Now our story is being told through the lens of those who suffered through the first fateful hours of the most devastating fire event in California history. “Urban Inferno, the Night Santa Rosa Burned” is the latest documentary film from Santa Rosa’s Award Winning film-maker Dr. Stephen Seager, a local physician and psychiatrist. Dr. Seager was chased from his burning neighborhood “that terrible night”, and as he was fleeing with family and pets he declared that a documentary film MUST be made of this nightmare and it MUST be made by ”someone who lived it”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwHUC4Z8X8s
