We’re Mike and Anne, lifelong self-taught artists who pursued our dream and opened a small gallery in Duck, North Carolina. What began as a creative venture soon became a space where we could share our own work and connect with people who love the coast as much as we do.
Anne
Mixed media collage
Anne grew up in Les Rousses, a French mountain town on the Swiss border, before moving to the United States in 1980. Her mixed media collage work blends inspiration from the alpine landscapes of her childhood with decades spent living near the ocean. Influenced by a lifelong love of creating and the many artists she has admired over the years, her pieces layer texture, color, and found elements into something uniquely her own.
Mike
Acrylic on canvas
Mike grew up as an Army brat, living across the U.S. and overseas, but the Outer Banks always felt like home. After spending his early adult years there, the coastline never stopped calling him back. His acrylic paintings are inspired by the shifting light, colors, and rhythms of the shore and sea.
Georgia
Sculptural mixed media
In 2026, we welcomed the work of our daughter, Georgia, whose sculptural and mixed media creations continue our family’s love of making one-of-a-kind pieces.
