About Doug Busby -

Born and raised in the Midwest, photography was always a fascination. Starting with film and graduated to digital when it first came on the scene.
I am a natural light photographer with a passion for landscape, wildlife and travel photography. I travel as often as possible capturing nature and wildlife moments. Knowing not everyone is blessed with seeing these sights in person, I want to share my work with the world. I continue to expand my knowledge of equipment, technique and those special places to photograph.
I have photographed landscape, wildlife and fauna in 50 states and 3 countries and found great enjoyment with Studio Photography in the Studio in Kansas City.
Published in numerous magazines and having received many awards maybe the most gratifying is teaching photography and being a photo guide and watching people fall into the world of Photography.

About Kelly...

I'm Kelly Madewell, Jewel artist. I don't make jewelry. I make art from jewelry, vintage jewelry. I'm a Chattanooga native, lived here my entire life. I'm married and have two daughters and two lovely granddaughters, our joy. I think my creativity came from my parents. My dad was a homebuilder/developer and my mother was an interior designer. They were both visionaries in their craft.

I love needlework, embroidery, and vintage buttons. This led me to my jewel art. I was stringing buttons and embroidering tea towels when I was 6 years old, thanks to my grandmothers. Several years ago I made button creations and sold my wares in a small shop in East Brainerd. My daughter suggested I try jewelry instead of buttons. The first piece was a Christmas Tree. It sold before I even hung it in my booth. I had orders for eight more in two days. At this time I asked God to bless this endeavor if it was what I should do. He did and He continues to do so.

Currently, you can find my work at Vinterest Hixson and Trestle Side Antiques in Ringgold and online through my Broken and Beautiful page. I ship nationwide. Every piece is an original. I draw most of my own designs and use vintage and not so vintage jewelry. I also do commissioned pieces, most of which are from family jewelry. This is a great way to enjoy family heirlooms in your home decor.

There is something so special about the sky. At sunrise the earth is awakened with colors that welcome us to breathe in new mercies.  At sunset the big orange ball fades into the horizon and we again breathe in the majesty of heaven as the day closes; giving thanks for one more day. God meets me in the sky. He warms me and settles me with His presence. The beauty of His handiwork establishes peace in my soul and reminds me He is always with me. 

May I always be consumed with the Creator of all things rather than created things.
