Cards, calendars, posters, prints, placemats, coasters, flour sack towels, microfiber cloths, tile trivets, are just a few of the lines I produce.
My work is bold, colorful, whimsical and inspired by the sea. My various lines are reproduced from original art which is acrylic on paper. I am based in Maine and source as much as I can staying local. Every line I produce is made in the USA ~ Yay! This is important to me. And as a result, yes you will pay a little more for an item made in the USA, but it is my hope that the consistency and quality will be worth the investment.
I strive to bring happiness and joy into daily living. Charts are reminiscent of places we love, memories of vacations and time spent on the coast. Oars and Pillows add a joyful splash of color reminiscent of sea life and the sea, where we choose to spend our time. Color in general makes us happy, it engulfs the space and joyfully washes over us. We walk into a happy space and feel it. We smile, relax and feel at home or feel we want to spend some time there. Color nurtures us, we feel it in our soul. My clients want to duplicate this feeling in their living space, to create a space that brings them joy.
Color is my joy! Alison

Fairgame Wildlife offers a natural and appealing series of plush animal mounts. Non-threatening and decorative, these trophies quickly become popular members of family or staff. All are firmly stuffed with non-allergenic poly-fill. Some are finished as shoulder mounts where the fur is pulled tightly over the back insert. Others are mounted on a plaque leaving a frame-like border of finished wood. All arrive ready to hang and enjoy. We keep a large inventory and ship most orders USPS the next business day.
They are in homes, offices, theme rooms, camps, condos, bars and restaurants. We have shipped to every state, the District of Columbia, six Canadian Provinces and a number of countries around the globe. They have appeared in videos, commercials, and theater productions.
We feel that it is important to use American made materials. We buy everything from American-run businesses. Part of our popularity, even overseas, is that our mounts are natural portrayals of North American wildlife.

The Daylily product comes from a hybridizer that grew the plant from seed. The plant multiplies each year until they have enough to sell to others. The Daylily is a root plant, not a bulb and becomes available by dividing the root. The blooms last for one day but have many buds on each scape. There are thousands of Daylilies registered with The American Hemerocallis Society each unique unto itself plants.

I am a woodworker and most of my raw materials are from Maine. I create live edge tables, small wooden push and pull toys, various kinds of cutting boards, folk art, hand carved signs and I also focus on furniture restoration. I often utilize maple saplings in my tables. My furniture is on the rustic side with embedded stones or carved tabletops. My strongest influence is nature and it’s reflected in my work.

My bronze sculptures are mostly limited and (some) unlimited editions all originally designed and sculpted at my workshop in Harmony ME.
They’re sculpted in clay and/or wax, mold-making is done here in Maine, and they’re cast in the traditional lost-wax process at foundries here in Maine too.
Original limited editions are available directly through me via my website at http://www.davidsmus.com and sold at various shops and galleries as well.
Unlimited editions are sold through my Etsy Shop via : https://www.etsy.com/shop/harmonyhillbronze
Unique commissions are also accepted and I design them myself (if preferred), or collaborate with clients who enjoy being a part of the process also.
These can be either one-of-a-kind or limited editions also – which is a decision made between the client and myself at the time of creation.
