There is a place north of Racine at 7 Mile Road called Kettle Moraine Hardwoods, it is just before Milwaukee on the left side of the Freeway that specializes in exotic or non-traditional woods. We bought a good lot of maple to make a custom counter a couple of years ago. They will supply it as rough or finished as you like. They had reasonable prices as well. http://kmhardwoods.com/

Thank you for posting these photos. Rae meant so much to me as a friend, fellow artist, and mentor, but most of all, I always felt like she considered me family. If someone could either post or contact me and let me know where she is buried, I would like to pay her a visit. Thanks. artgrrl33@gmail.com.

What a simple, elegant, powerful statement — sensitive and with the very lightest touch of somber humor. Bravo to the wordweaver, with gratitude.

I am stunned and saddened to know of Rae’s passing. She was a remarkable and
unique artist. I met her last year at the Goddess Scholars symposium, where she gave a wonderful presentation on her work. As another visual artist, I mourn her loss and the loss of her deep vision in the world.
May her spirit soar and her family find peace and comfort.

I knew Rae as an artist, but maybe even better in her role as coordinator of disabilities services at the Overture Center for the Arts where I have been a volunteer usher for close to a decade. Rae was instrumental in raising awareness at Overture about people with disabilities and how accommodations could best be made with consideration and understanding. Her trainings were great! They were participatory and one would always come away from them having learned something. She imparted practical information in a straight-forward manner that allowed the trainees to not be afraid to ask questions. Instead of blaming us or shaming us for not knowing what it would be like to have a disability, she gave us the chance to “be in someone else’s shoes.” Her empathetic approach allowed the empathy of hundreds of staff persons and volunteers to increase each year.
