Zinn Levine is an adventurous 8-year-old from Moab who loves biking, soccer, skiing, wrestling, and exploring the world around him. His creative journey began after repeatedly asking his mom for her necklace-making beads. She finally gave him his own stash, and he started crafting his unique "Beauty Catchers." Inspired by light catchers, these handmade creations may not always catch the light, but they’re designed to bring a little extra beauty into your world. Hang them in a window, on a wall, or anywhere you’d like a reminder of something special. You can also find Zinn featured in Sarah (aka Mom) Barstow's book, Moms Can't Get Sick.

Tamar is a Scottish born world traveler and art school drop out. Now happily settled in Moab, Utah with her husband and two kids, she is passionate about not only creating her own art, but helping to grow the thriving local artisan community through her work.

Her artisan jewelry is crafted with nature, color, and style in mind. Made using raw brass, stainless steel, and genuine gemstones. All texture is hand hammered on Colorado River rocks so you can take a piece of Moab home with you.

Hip Hop Electronic, AKA Stuart Spade, is a local artist, breakbeat DJ/producer, father, and husband. He began his obsession with Hip Hop and Electronic Dance Music growing up in SLC during the ‘80s and ‘90s. At a time when MTV was still cool, rap was more conscious, and the sounds of electronic instruments were becoming more prominent. During this time, he also developed a love for the underground dance scene and its magic at getting many types of people together!

Because of this, proceeds from his art go towards paying DJs and music producers to spread the history and culture behind early hip hop and electronic dance music by writing about it on HipHopElectronic.com. He believes this helps us pay homage to the past while keeping the music moving forward and using modern artists to champion the roots of their passions.

He first moved to Moab in 2008 but took a little hiatus in Australia, where he met his Scottish wife and convinced her to move out into the middle of nowhere. They now live in a straw-bale house with their two children, where they all enjoy making art and music.

After building roads for 48 years, I retired. After about a month I decided I needed a hobby. So I started making things out of wood. Three years ago Jim Foy taught me how to use a lathe. That’s when I started making bowls.
