Obsessed with color, she tolerates winter by painting vibrant floral patterns on her handmade pottery from her home studio. Spring is by far her favorite season. “I love observing the gentle

Janie L. Ferguson
I have a passion to capture God's beauty all around me, and share it with others. Especially the views we have here in Steuben County, and along the Canisteo River here in Cameron Mills, NY.
I’ll be showing my work at Beulah Land, the home of Jennifer Fais and Noel Sylvester: 4363 CR 24, Cameron Mills, NY 14820
Jennifer Fais
I am spoiled rotten! At our rambly home, I have part of the shop to do encaustics which involves messing with hot wax with plenty of ventilation to create art. Inside is my "painting" studio where I mess with watercolors and acrylics, jewelry making and slumped glass. Beulah Land is a hideaway of resources!

More that a studio, Beulah Land is a space for the curious. Photography and sculpture are what I most enjoy practicing here.
