About Us

Our Studio is our work place. Here you will find us creating works of art from images we have captured throughout the Priest Lake area.

My wife Arlina and I spend many hours collecting and creating these pieces of art to display for our visitors. Our display area consists of 1100 square feet of floor space with the walls covered in all aspects of Priest Lakes existence. Wildlife so unique leaving you wondering how the shot was made, landscapes rich with color and excitement, waterfalls dancing before your eyes and not to mention the breathtaking sunsets and sunrises only Priest Lake can produce.

We wanted to share our beautiful place and have found a way to do so. We have worked with new photographers to the area who have a wish for the same dream we have, creating art from the shorelines of Priest Lake.

We have been teaching photo techniques, custom framing and marketing skills. With new technology photography has become even easier than one could imagine, although it takes more than point and shoot. Developing a style creating a composition that makes your work stand out above the rest is what it really takes and we have seen these new up coming artist develop. We will some day have to step aside and make room for these new artists with their own special skill. We welcome them and wish them the best.

Photographer Tom Holman

Growing up in North Idaho has significantly influenced my work. Living here at Priest Lake and spending much of my time with nature has given me a passion for the outdoors. I have called the Northwest home my entire life. For over 45 years I have resided near the edge of the Selkirk Mountains, at Priest Lake, the

"Crown Jewel of Idaho".

I have found that this beautiful area affords me ample opportunity to achieve my goals in photography. The images I produce represent my work as I experienced that moment. In some cases I discovered the scene and in other cases the idea found me.

Studio Host Arlina Holman

A resident of Priest Lake my entire life makes it easy to show my customers those special places. I will be your host and guide to many locations not many have had the opportunity to see. If you are looking for that special piece for that special place in your home I will be able to help. As your host I will be able to guide you through all pieces on display and assist you with those special orders. We do custom framing with many sample displays for you to choose from and my time spent working with decor will help you create that once in a life time piece.
