domaci gallery – worth the drive

Meet Mary & Tim Pritchard of Domaci Gallery in Rogers City, Michigan. 

Steve and I met Mary & Tim years ago while doing the ‘art fair circuit’ and have kept in touch ever since.  This past winter I got a phone call from Mary with some exciting news… They bought a beautiful old building and were opening a gallery!

We finally took a road trip up north this week and got to see their ‘new baby’ (as Mary & I affectionately call it)

They divided the space so part of it had a true ‘gallery feel’ featuring a single artist’s work.

I love how they framed the current exhibition artist’s statement with an old truck door.

The opposing rich turquoise wall creates a magnificent backdrop for all the other handmade goods they offer (like a.i. paper design)

Mary displays her full line of H.B. Jewelry in these wonderful antique display cases.  * We also offer her lovely pieces at our Berkley & Rochester locations. 

Before creating her jewelry line, Mary and Tim primarily made artistic tiles as seen in this beautiful fireplace installation.

After visiting the gallery, Tim invited Steve to take a trip back to their home on Hammond Bay in his rat rod. (his artistic outlet)

And believe it or not … THIS IS THEIR BACKYARD!  Can you imagine waking up to that every morning? 

If you need a little refresher from the hustle and bustle of life, I highly recommend a road trip to this pretty part of the state.
