All journeys come to an end and I’m sad to say that Mountain Made’s will be ending after 22 years.
Over the years, we’ve introduced thousands of customers to the talents of hundreds of Western NC artists. Whether you’ve been with us for one year or 22, we could not have been successful without your expertise and dedication to your craft. I thank you for your partnership in this success.
We’ve survived and overcome many challenges since 2002, including the Great Recession in 2008 and the COVID years.
Unfortunately, 2024 brought challenges to my family situation as well as Hurricane Helene’s effects on the business. My husband Charlie’s medical condition made it clear that we needed to relocate to Tennessee for better treatment options and to be closer to family.
And hurricane Hell-ene destroyed our business sales for the three most significant months of the year. All together, these events have led me to the heartbreaking decision to close Mountain Made.
Artists, I will be in touch soon regarding closing out consignment accounts and other details. Again, I could not have traveled this far without all of you and I wish only the best for your continued success.

Her deep appreciation of Asian techniques and styles and admiration for the vivid brushwork and painstaking detail of the Russian artist Ivan Shishkin speaks for itself in her portfolio of inspired paintings.
