Locally Handcrafted Fine Arts and Accessories
While browsing our fine furniture selection at the Made In Pescadero Furniture Gallery, you will find a beautiful array of handmade products by local artisans. Our constantly evolving collection includes Lamps and Lighting, Turned Wood Products, Fine Art, Ceramics, Photography and more. Most of these items are one-of-a-kind and have the highest quality.
On display you may find Dan Geraci’s hand-forged jewelry – often his designs are based on a historic artifact from a sunken treasure, one of a kind ceramics from Nancy Quickert, James and Cindy Searles work of wood and clay, paintings by William Dunn of Pescadero and Barbara Greensweig of Montara, and photographs on aluminum and archival prints from Dana Pitchon of La Honda. Most of the works you find in our gallery can be packed and shipped for immediate delivery. Many artisans are also available to create unique items to suit your personal tastes and vision.

“My business card reads “painter-printmaker” but in truth it should read “experimental artist”. I work in series, each one morphing into another.” |

Stephanie Martin (Santa Cruz)
Stephanie Zeiler Martin is a painter and printmaker living on the California coast. Each medium makes its own demands. Plein aire painting is immediate and engaging; the light is continually changing and the elements –wind, fog, heat, lightning, ants, and mosquitoes– are always at play.
Joanne Perez Robinson (Gilroy)
“My goal is to continue to grow as an artist and learn as much as I can so I can keep creating.”
Rebecca Holland (Half Moon Bay)
She has been painting oil on canvas landscapes for nearly 50 years. Her passion has been driven by the natural beauty she sees in the fog and the light on the redwood forest, the ocean and the farmlands of rural California.
Barbara Greensweig (Montara)
An artist for 40 years, Barbara’s vibrant landscapes from vineyards to coastal scenes are often painted “en plein air”, working in nature. Her brilliant oil paintings exude the joy she feels while painting what she terms “captured moments in time.”
