Ink & Hare - Mickey Doerfler


I create art inspired by the cycles and messages of nature, the human experience, and my own occult practice. I strive to design pieces that evoke a strong emotional reaction and move the viewer to impose their own meaning onto my work based on their personal life story.  

Deer Designs and Crafts - Lee Ridder


Making art that people can connect with and relate to is very rewarding for me, as my art is often influenced by my own feelings. Working an emotionally rigorous and demanding job led me to require a creative outlet in order to leave that stress behind and build a connection with myself outside of work. I enjoy using a wide variety of mediums as I am always striving to explore more ways that I can bring my thoughts and ideas to life.
