Twigs and Leaves Gallery, “Where Art Dances with Nature,” features nature-related art and fine crafts from more than 140 artists primarily, but not exclusively, from Southern Appalachia.

Twigs and Leaves was established in October 1998 by David Erickson and Kaaren Stoner, husband and wife. With extensive renovation to the century-old building on Main Street in Waynesville, they transformed the 6,000 square foot space into a uniquely designed art gallery.

On March 19, 2007, Carrie and John Keith purchased the business, revising the name to Nature’s Inspirations dba Twigs and Leaves Gallery. As new owners they moved to Waynesville from Florida, immediately establishing ownership and residency. Carrie had previously owned a nature/garden/florist shop in Destin, FL, making the attraction to Twigs and Leaves a natural partnership. John brought to the enterprise his 32 years of banking and civic involvement. Carrie manages the gallery, while John is a realtor with Beverly-Hanks & Associates.

Twigs and Leaves Gallery is very active with Waynesville Gallery Association and the Downtown Waynesville Association holding executive positions as well as participating and supporting the downtown events.

“We are blessed to be surrounded by a wealth of talent.”

Twigs and Leaves Gallery is very proud to represent some of the most respected artists in the area including Kaaren Stoner, Jack Stern, Bob and Lucy Gibson, Margaret Roberts and Jenny Buckner ~ just to name a few. With the gallery’s positive reputation and continued support of customers, they have received the Best Gallery award by readers of the Mountain Xpress in 2009-2015, as well as Business of the Month from the Haywood County Chamber of Commerce in January 2011.

Each item in the gallery is handcrafted, one of a kind, by the artists.
