He designs and builds fine furniture in a variety of wood to suit your home or cottage and welcomes custom orders. He regularly exhibits his work in local studio tours and galleries as well as at Stone Tree Studio in Dorset Ontario where he lives with his wife Elise and 2 daughters.
Elise has been sculpting stone for 11 years. Her grandmother Edith Muller was a stone sculptor and was a source of inspiration. Elise learned the art form at Haliburton School of the Arts. Elise’s recognizable sculptures are mainly stylized figures alone or in family groupings carved from a variety of stones. Elise previously studied art abroad in Dublin Ireland, and back in Canada at McMaster University. Elise still enjoys printmaking and other art forms and has her Post-Graduate Certificate in Expressive Arts. Elise facilitates

south gallery – Michaela Sagatova
Birds of the Dundas Valley, A Photographic Treasury
Michaela Sagatova is a Dundas resident and avid birder and photographer. She has had her works reproduced in many publications and books. Bird photography is a very challenging yet rewarding art demanding stubborn patience, skill and an innate eye for composition. Sagatova has what it requires to make her works stand out amongst all the others. A birding hotspot, the Dundas Valley is home to or on the migration route of many bird species, providing Michaela wonderful shooting opportunities. She is able to give viewers an intimate glimpse into the secret life of birds from her point of view.
Sagatova has captured many special moments to share with you by trodding off the beaten path in the Dundas area.
