Crows Nest Arts

Is lifestyle of active faith, continued learning, and creative expression as a result of our nest.  Our nest is a safe place for you to try a new craft, receive encouragement, creative guidance, or just be a part of our flock by supporting our art.  We are here to connect with you, through our online presence and our private studio we call the Crows Nest.
​Online: built by me, Janise, it's an expression of my creativity and a showcase of our work. It's an invitation to be a part of our community, to own art that you connect with, and to inspire you MAKE IT or HAVE IT MADE.  Feel free explore our store, current projects blog featuring the behind the scenes, and be a part of our flock through social media. 
Private Studio: ​a casual homey space to create and make.  We consider you our friend and invite you to make with us.  We are happy to share what we've learned along the way saving you time and frustration.  We thinking making with friends is funner than making alone, more productive, and is a memorable experience.

The Nest

Located in the center of Pennsylvania and is fondly known by many as Happy Valley or lion country, home of the Nittany Lions, and Penn State University.  We call it home.  Over 25 years ago, Ed and I built our nest and family, establishing "The Crows Nest".  A home to a family of Crows who rarely sit still.  Most days you could hear sounds of hammers pounding, engines roaring, saws humming, kids laughing, people chatting, a dog barking, glasses tinking, and the smell of fresh baked raspberry pie.  Our nest has always been a busy place both inside and out.  .  Two of chicks have grown up and left the home nest to establish their own nests in the Seattle, WA area.  Ed and I are enjoying the empty nest.  On any given day you will find several projects underway, exploration of the woods, and quiet reflection under a canopy of trees on the deck.

The Crows

​We are a family of problem solvers, thinkers, and doers.  We enjoy the experience and challenge of learning new things and then giving it a try.  We put our heart and creativity in everything we do.  We have great faith and often bring other's into the nest and embrace them for the uniqueness.  We ourselves are a work in progress, learning as we go and sharing what we've learned.  We strive to keep life simple and real.  For us, fun is making things. We are inspired many different things and we often collaborate skills, knowledge, and creativity.

Multi-media Artist & Jewelry Designer

Sentimental Jewelry Designs by Janise Crow, custom bridal pearl necklace set titled
State College, PA
I am a visionary, a creative spirit, and a life long learner.  Because I have a thirst to learn and then try it I have explored many forms of art and craft projects throughout the years.  I am inspired most to make art of purpose and meaning in various mediums, often using recycled objects.
For me, it's all about making a connection and expressing messages in visual form.  Making art and doing it with others is my idea of fun.
