We're Sam + Dave, the two behind Aster & Agate. Aster & Agate was created as a way for us to spread ideas of creating warm spaces, encouraging self care, and nature inspired art.
Dave is the face behind all of our woodworking, and reclaimed wood projects. Sam is the face behind everything else. With a constant need for change, nature, and art, Sam started focusing on colors and patterns found in nature, natural remedies, and creating full spaces. Always being called to healing, Sam is a nurse, and Reiki trained. Sam often treats illnesses with herbs, teas, yoga and some self reiki.
From our schooling, Dave is a hydrogeologist, and Sam has a biology background as well as nursing. Both of us have always been creative, Dave is a terrific guitar player, photographer, and woodworker, and Sam is also a photographer and painter. With this hodge-podge of a background, we are always searching for ways to combine our love of Mother Earth and creating. We travel, we create, we dance, we love, we try and stay present, and we connect.
