Nature Pauses is located in Northern Lower Michigan, and has been in business since 1999. It is owned and operated by Mary and Dave Fournier. Mary has been carving and painting birds and animals for the last 20 years. Dave has been a carpenter for over 40 years doing rough and finish work.

Here at Nature Pauses we create unique, one-of-a-kind, functional, robust artwork and home furnishings in a timeless rustic style. Each piece is hand-carved, depicting wildlife and plants. Acrylic paints enhace the high and low relief carvings, giving them a truly 3D effect, and are then sealed according to specifications.

In addition to creating original pieces, we can customize material provided by you: mantels, doors, bar-tops, or any piece of furniture you wish can be personalized.

If you like the work you have seen in our gallery and would like to order something, you can contact us by email at naturepauses@torchlake.com. In your message, please tell us what type of piece you would like, what work you want done on it, and where we can contact you for more information. Pricing is decided on a per-project basis
