WOOD CREATIONS BY RICK KNOX

​

My name is Rick Knox. I have lived in Harney County for 11 years with my wife and two young daughters. My family and I enjoy everything Harney County has to offer and we like to get out and be involved in our community.  Wood working has been a passion that I have enjoyed since high school. I like seeing a project through from start to finish and always enjoy seeing the final product. As my family gets a little older it has given me more time to get back into the shop and start building again. I create a variety of rustic creations from small things like coasters,  trivets, and bird feeders to larger items such as planter boxes, trellis’s, and picture frames. I recently started my small business so that I can share my creations with the community and others.

The studio is a family-run business with three generations efforts to bring you these one-of-a-kind creations. The mission of South Palace Studio is to provide beautiful and useful objects which enhance others lives.  The artist strives to push a traditional process in new directions and create each item with care, individuality, and a new perspective.

DAVE BARTHOLET

​

Dave Bartholet, a self-taught artist, showed up on the planet in 1949. Having spent his early childhood in Wyoming his love for wildlife was forged from the get-go.  In 1971 he started his journey as a professional artist selling his original watercolors through galleries.  In the early 80's he ventured into "show business" doing juried art shows through out the west.  He still travels to 30 shows each year.  His loose style of watercolors has proven to be very popular to an estimated 100,000 households that collect his work of over 400 limited edition prints.  He has illustrated many magazines and book covers as well as being commissioned to do the mural for the National Wildlife Refuge 100 year recognition, a 30x50 foot effort. Dave believes he was born to paint and credits God for his natural ability. He often says he paints not because he can, but because he must. It is a gift!
