Maller Cottage Industries
Art by Doreen and Steve Maller
Doreen and Steve love living in Half Moon Bay, California. In our years here, our backyard has been visited by animals of all kinds. Some live here, some are passing through. All are welcome and delight us.
Steve photographs them, and Doreen animates them with pens and paintbrushes.
We invite you to share in the wonder of this special place, and we hope that you can visit us, too.
Deep appreciation to our friends at Coastside Land Trust, whose stewardship of these sacred places is an inspiration and a gift to us all.
With love,
Doreen and Steve Maller
Things we make
Our work is inspired by the world around us. By the natural beauty of the place where we live, by our experiences in the amazing lives that we’ve lived, and by the people, animals, and experiences with which we’re blessed daily.
We’re grateful that you’ve taken a moment to visit, and we hope you enjoy what you find.
And if you’re in the neighborhood, we’d be delighted if you gave a holler and maybe you can get some kisses from Belle and Finn.
Backyard Bunny
Original Flashe Vinyl Painting on Paper in recycled barnwood frame
12" x 15"
Year by year, bunny by bunny, I am reminded of the rhythms of nature and the shared beauty of our coastal paradise. This bunny, painted in Flashe Vinyl on watercolor paper and framed in reclaimed wood is a loving reminder of the small wonders that abound. We are filled with gratitude and compelled to notice all creatures great and small.
