A wonderland of artful gifts
by an array of local and international artists:
Frans Beelen
This avant garde jeweler from The Netherlands has momentaneously a one woman show in the fashion museum in Hasselt, Belgium, a great honor that marks her outstanding craftsmanship and artistic vision. See her intriguing necklaces and pins, minutely made in a combination of natural materials, semi-precious stones, beads, fur and fabrics. By wearing them you will feel like a creature in a fairy tale, or as one of my friends remarked; "I could see Marie Antoinette wearing this". Polderland is the only place in the US where you can find her imaginative creations.
David Brock
From the Wisconsin area of Eau Claire, David Brock shows his vision on landscape and architectural scenes in modern, strong and compelling graphic woodcuts.
Marina Broere

Rebecca Crowell
If you have seen Rebecca's one man show last April and loved it, come and see new small works by this contemporary abstract painter whose unique technique of layered oil and cold wax makes her paintings glow with deep color and texture. Poetic and always close to the nature that inspires her, yet never a literal rendition of it.
Tim Erickson
Landscape scenes painted in a deceptively simple way, yet so meaningful and rich in color as well as in paint. Tim's paintings have a very strong presence and will become the focal point in any setting.
Kristine Kjos
A multi-talented artist whose work covers multiple fields, such as interior and garden design, upholstery and set building, but who will here show her fiber-related creations. From scarves in combinations of vintage fabrics and trims, pillows in unexpected color ways of vintage ribbons or silk patchworks framed in velvet, to whimsical Xmas cards.
Erika Mock
From way up north in Wisconsin comes this Swiss-born artist who was a knitter and a weaver from early childhood on . Her love for fibers never faded and now she creates a line of reconstructed garments (scarves and wings) made form 'loved-enough' pieces, hand woven bags and purses, and much more fun and 'gottahaveit' stuff.
