Gabe & Anne Carlstrom / Forever Favorites
Painting, Woodworking, and Jewelry
Site #6ย ๐
1428 Cty Road 5, Longville, MN 56655
Always marveling at the beauty in the landscape of the world, Gabe Carlstrom has been exploring acrylic painting since the age of 16, taking up oil painting just recently. He is self-taught and oddly enough, color blind. Big bright colors of sunsets, sunrises and cloud formations have always been the focal point.
Around the same time, his passion for woodworking was growing as well. The use of reclaimed wood, tree roots, epoxy and found objects is a constant. Gabe also incorporates area lake rocks, driftwood and tree root pieces into his paintings. All frames are handmade on hand stretched canvases.
His wife, Anne Carlstrom, discovered her artistic side during the pandemic. Painting and pour painting at first then moving to jewelry making. She uses reclaimed jewelry pieces, hand-cut reclaimed leather, metal, fabric, rock, gems, wood and flowers from the garden. Always adapting and changing styles, Anne has found her true passion.

A self-taught Minnesota artist, Laurie Slanga has taken her passion for art and infused it with her everyday life. Utilizing mainly acrylics and mixed-media styles, her artwork focuses mostly on wildlife and nature, something she surrounds herself with every day. Much of her work has been inspired by Lake Superior, a staple of her life growing up on the North Shore, whose beauty, power and ever-changing landscape encourages her with every creation.
Laurie discovered her passions later than many, after taking a โpaint-and-sipโ class while visiting her brother in Alabama. Ever since, sheโs been continuously honing her crafts, as she attempts to share the simple beauty of the world through every canvas and jewelry piece she creates.
Some of her canvas pieces include mixed media, standard brush painting and pour-painting (mixing acrylic paint, a flow enhancer, oil and water.)
Her jewelry is created from an extension of pour-painting. Dipping transparent glass Cabochons in a pour-paint mixture of acrylic paint, flow enhancer, oil, and water. Once dry, prepped and sealed the glass is set-in stainless-steel jewelry pieces.

Becky Steinhoff
Painting, Jewelry
Site #3ย ๐
838 20th Avenue NW, Backus, MN 56435
Becky Steinhoff has been an artist all her life and has been drawing, painting and writing since she was a little girl. Her journey as an artist has taken many twists and turns, going to school for commercial art and specializing in portraiture.
Becky is a mixed media artist. She paints, draws, collages and makes jewelry. Her inspiration comes from nature. She has also illustrated a children's book.
She switched gears and went back to school for sign lettering and design. She spent many years painting signage and pictorials until computers and vinyl graphics took over the industry. She then started working in advertising and layout design for magazines and newspapers and made jewelry on the side. When Covid hit, she had extra time on her hands, since all of her shows had been canceled or postponed, so she picked up a paintbrush again. Used to painting in oils exclusively, Becky decided to try a new medium and started using watercolor. To her it felt like she had come home. Becky now uses a variety of mediums to create art including collage, acrylics, watercolor and oils while also "brushing" up on her lettering!
