Elizabeth Costigan
My mother, an artist, and innovator, taught me to make something from nothing' and the value of filling void with beauty. I studied Photojournalism in Omaha, own a jewelry business (EiC Jewelry), and am currently exploring my mind through painting.
Connecting with other artists has been essential for my creative evolution. The opportunity to work with Open Air has been a reminder that I do not creatively evolve in solitude.

Erin Hawley
Rag and Stone is a metalsmithing studio located in Northwest Montana, where Artist Erin Hawley creates one-of-a-kind jewelry and limited collections. She works out of a small outbuilding in Whitefish, MT dubbed “the bungalito" and is usually in the middle of a cup of hot coffee.
Erin explores the story that stone and silver speak together. Her work is inspired by the beautiful and sometimes harsh climates of the North and her place among the ‘Big Sky’. Most of Erin's jewelry is inspired by strong and independent women whose zest for life is contagious. Strength, bravery, and growing things is a common thread in her work.
