Meet the family

Made with care, precision, and love.

Time spent outside — at the park, in the forest, on top of mountains or on the water — provides a sense of peace, wonder and adventure. Our mission is to bring that same feeling of connection and peace into your own home through our artwork.

Michele began this journey fueled by a passion for creating with her laser machine and a love for nature. Justin paints, cuts and assembles the pieces, Dani turns ideas into laser-ready files, and Maizy gives every package her sniff test before it heads out the door.

From the breathtaking landscapes of Montana to the detailed grains of fine wood, nature constantly influences our art. Many pieces are layered to add depth and dimension, evoking the complexity and beauty of the outdoors.

What people say.

LOVE this! This is the second one of these I've purchased actually. I wanted one that was a little bigger to go next to the smaller bear. So cute and recommend buying two to stand side-by-side! Great quality and shipped fast.

Megan · Customer review on risingjoycreations.com

I actually gasped when I unwrapped this piece. It looks awesome in person. Cannot speak highly enough about it. If I could afford the whole collection, I’d buy it right now. But I’ll be back for more.
