Chesapeake Creek Candles ~ Savanah Rog
I started making candles in August of 2019 as a hobby after my husband got me a candle making kit for our anniversary. I have always really enjoyed candles and wax melts and just having a great smelling home in general, but I was tired of spending money on candles that quit lighting after only burning half way, and wax melts whose scents only lasted for a few hours. I had some basic knowledge on candle making from when my mom made candles years ago, so I just kind of ran with it.
In April of 2020, my husband and I found out we were pregnant with our second son. Covid hit my husband’s business and my in home daycare pretty hard- so I turned to my candles to make up for lost income during my maternity leave. This ignited a dream of doing candles full time so I can continue stay home with my boys.
I look forward to participating in the Coastal Arts Market for the first time this year and meeting so many great new faces.

Cyn Sational Art
Hello, My name is Cynthia Snyder.
I am a full-time artist creating original paintings and handmade items. My favorite medium is acrylic paint on canvas. As a child, I always enjoyed artwork. That is when I began a love affair with acrylic paints. I love the way they move around the canvas and love the benefit of them being fast drying. I definitely have a Signature Style, My Paintings are Very Whimsical. I use a lot of Vibrant Colors and have a unique embossed technique, I began experimenting with caulking and now use it in my work, and most of my painting are embellished with natural elements to add texture and dimension to my artwork.
Originally from Virginia, where I received My Degree from Virginia Commonwealth University in Arts and Design, I now reside in Maryland with my husband Matthew, where I have been lucky enough to share my art with others. My work can be found in many beach homes, adding a touch of 'color.' I love to share my art as it makes me smile to know that I added a little color to the lives of those that appreciate it. I love creating happy art and I hope my art work will bring a smile to your heart.
Art is my Passion and has become my creative freedom. For me, color is life!

Nancy Campbell ~ Timeless Threadcraft
My grandmother was the family seamstress while her three sisters and their daughters were the knitters, crocheters, and quilters. She didn’t learn those skills until she was in her sixties so I learned with her. I was fascinated by all of it as a child and to this day love the tactile sensations of working with yarn and the visual pleasure provided by color. The basic techniques are truly timeless as are many of the patterns. Part of the fun, however, is searching for new patterns and adapting them to add flair. No two pieces are exactly alike.
My husband and I moved to Maryland from Wisconsin so he could pursue a graduate degree. We’ve lived in Sunderland in Calvert County for 32 years in a house built in 1920. Much of my working life has involved contract and business management with NASA and NOAA contractors. Needlework was my stress reliever and the source of many wedding and new baby gifts. Now I’m looking forward to turning a hobby into a small business, spending time with fellow artisans, and meeting new people.

I grew up in Pennsylvania where my grandmother taught me to make my first dress at the age of seven. I sewed clothing for myself and my family for years and then started quilting about twelve years ago. After three years of making large and small quilts, I purchased an embroidery machine. I sew almost every day and it seems there is always a project going on in my head. My career in that other life (before retirement) was nursing for over forty years. Most of those years were spent nursing children and most of my embroidery projects have to do with children. I have found no greater joy in life than children, both my own and those I have spent time with over the years. My husband and I have lived in southern Maryland for almost forty years and have one son who teaches music at Dynard Elementary.

Duty called and I served 24 years in the military. After retiring in 1992, I had an interest in woodwork so I started experimenting — furniture, painted wood, lighthouses, windmills, etc. I was reading a magazine about wood one day and ran across an article about intarsia. Intarsia is a thirteenth century Italian art form consisting of mosaic pictures in wood. I decided to try my hand at this this art form and and before long I was hooked. In the beginning, it was more a hobby. I made various pieces of intarsia and gave them away to family and friends. After a while, I began receiving phone calls from people who had seen my work and the idea began to form that I could possibly sell my product. In 1998, I embarked on the art and craft show market and the rest is history!
I use hard and soft wood (i.e. walnut, mahogany, cherry, pine, beech, holly, ash – to name a few) and exotic wood from Africa and South America. Some pictures have over 300 pieces. Each piece is carefully cut with a scroll saw and then sanded which gives the item a 3 dimensional affect. An outline of the project is cut using plywood and the various pieces are glued together and then sprayed with 3 coats of polyurethane.
Most of my Intarsia pieces have an animal, nautical or wild life theme. I have also expanded my craft to include a ships wheel table with an intarsia theme. I also make a wooden banks, pens and lately I've included a line of military themed plaques. I do accept custom orders.
