Brilliant Stranger Dawn Patel is a Door County artist and business owner who loves designing and decorating clothes that make people feel playful and free, while also staying true to their unique and brave authenticity. The name Brilliant Stranger appeared in a dream. In the mirror there are always aspects of a Brilliant Stranger to be discovered. This is a promise of light in a sometimes very challenging world. When we are able to hold this light, we can see it in the Other, be it a person, place or thing - it is in in everything we encounter. Clothing is a way of expressing ourselves in these encounters, it is the what we place between our naked selves and the world we meet. Clothing can dim our light or help it to shine more brightly, and I work hard to create pieces that make shining just a little bit easier.

Liz Butler Pottery Through observing the rich textures of earth; the elusive movement of objects; the folding and stretching of materials, I create ceramic pieces that feel organic and memorable, yet new and contemporary. I truly enjoy creating pieces that bring others happiness. Every piece of my artwork is a small part of me, an outward expression of what is within my soul. I feel that the life of a pot becomes complete when it has found a person who truly enjoys it. The natural beauty of the earth and what can be observed when connected with it…the patterns, colors, textures, and details that many don’t take the time to appreciate is what I strive to portray in my artwork.

Wisconsin-grown wines are vibrant, playful, and spirited in nature, much like Andrea Naylor herself, and the bottle art she created for these labels could not be better suited for the wines inside. Reminiscent of landscapes right here in Door County, each bottle will remind you of a summer day on the Peninsula and one sip will transport you to your favorite spot on the beach, in the park, or out on the water.
Learn more about Andrea Naylor here.
