Artist Feature – Carleigh Donsker of Sunbeam Home

October 20, 2021
Carleigh Donsker – Artist Feature at The Hangout blog
We sat down with Carliegh Donsker of Sunbeam Home to get to know
her and the beautiful materials she makes. You won't want to miss this
interview with one of our favorite up and coming artists as we dive deep
into the essence of nature and creation.

Sunbeam Home is an independently owned Los Angeles based company designing and handcrafting pieces to age gracefully through generations.

Founded by designer and Los Angeles native Carleigh Donsker.  Entirely self taught, Carleigh's experimentation with handcrafted art has matured over several years.  Her fascination with natural materials developed over a lifetime of hiking and finding objects throughout Southern California to craft with. 

Materials are hand selected in accordance with this philosophy, "Every material has a grain, a strength and a weakness, an origin and an end." Using various materials found in nature stems from her belief that when we look to nature for inspiration, we find ourselves.

Realizing that every material has a grain, a strength and a weakness, an origin and an end, my work combines materials with different and oftentimes opposing properties.  Exploiting these differences allows me to highlight the connections that join the differing; and allow them to become physically and visually stronger than they are on their own.

 

Tell us a little bit about your vision and what you offer:
Locally sourced materials, Handmade art and jewelry;  Horseshoe wall art, bullet crystal jewelry . 


What is the most important thing you want others to know about you and your brand?

Each piece is one of a kind and will never be duplicated, 10% of sales supports animal rights. 


What inspires you the most when creating?
Finding materials that support and transform an object.


Where is Sunbeam Home headed next?
Im happy with the direction things are now, and look forward to creating more one of a kind home decor.


Name one song or band that embodies your brand: 
KOKOROKO by: Abusey Junction.
