Ossuary Arts is the collaborative effort of Tempe-based creators, Pete Baden and Jessica Knight.

Inspired by the cycles of life, death and regeneration they are intertwined with here in the Arizona desert, they explore nature’s wisdom and mysteries through their preferred mediums of woodwork and painting.

Most of Pete’s furnishings you’ll find here are made from saguaro or cholla skeletons with upcycled elements and natural materials such as raw crystals and Arizona petrified wood.

Jessica works in gouache and watercolor, weaving together dreams, story and a love for the wild thread that connects all beings.
