Please help us give the warmest welcome to Rae Duncan of Firbrae Art.
After a 30-year career in IT, Rae felt the pull back to her creative roots — and Firbrae Art was born from that beautiful blend of technology, animals, and art. What started as a few pieces for her own home has grown into a thoughtful collection of bookmarks, ceramic coasters, glass cutting boards, apparel, and giftable pieces centered around dogs, cats, wildlife, and peaceful symbolism.
Her work is vibrant yet calm. Playful yet meaningful. Practical yet personal. The kind of pieces that quietly make you smile every day.
Rae especially loves creating her cheerful ceramic coasters, her pet rescue bookmarks (which carry a message close to her heart), and her bright, almost magical glass cutting boards that transform into something truly joyful once completed.
And here’s something that makes her work even more special — 10% of every sale is donated to Oaken Acres Wildlife Rescue in Sycamore, IL. Supporting wildlife that inspires her art is woven right into her business.
Rae was drawn to The 815 Artisan Collective because of the care we put into creating a welcoming, thoughtfully curated space — and we truly feel Firbrae Art is a perfect fit for our 815 community.
If you love animals, meaningful details, vibrant color, and pieces that are easy to live with and easy to gift… you’re going to love her work.
Stop in, say hello, and find something practical and personal that brings a quiet, everyday smile.
