Studio 42 is more than just a business; it is the culmination of a lifelong journey fueled by passion and purpose. Founded by artists Lainee K and Michael Smith, Studio 42 represents over 30 years of artistic experience and a deep-seated desire to share their creations with the world. Lainee K, an abstract expressionist artist, uses her art to explore the depths of human emotion, creating pieces that speak to the shared experiences that connect us all.
Michael, on the other hand, channels his creativity into crafting cedar strip paddle boards, river tables, and wood and resin jewelry, blending natural elements to create functional pieces of art. What sets Studio 42 apart is not just the quality of its products, but also its commitment to giving back and making a positive impact on the world. Through their nonprofit, South 42 Degrees, Lainee K and Michael focus on ocean cleanup, using their art to raise awareness and support for environmental causes. Studio 42 is more than just a studio; it is a testament to the power of art to inspire, heal, and create change.
