Meet an Artist: The Midnight Orange


The Midnight Orange is one of Uncovered Artistry's original two artisans. She creates one-of-a-kind sculptures that represent both the difficult and empowering moments in our life. Her On the Edge of Healing Miniature Sculpture is a UA bestseller.


About this piece she says:

"I am struggling past something and it has transcended to my artwork. I apologize to share darkness with anyone, but I do believe that having an emblem of expression can help bring someone through catharsis. These have helped me, and if they can allow someone else to experience that place just prior to healing, then it will have been worth it.

I sculpted this because I got discouraged with people thinking they can look at something with a bird's eye view, listen to a problem loosely, and then tell you what to do to fix it. This is for the person like me who doesn't want anyone else's verbal remedies. This is for the person who knows they need to feel what they are feeling and then struggle past it. And it's for the person who knows they are not ready to move past it yet.

We cannot see how illuminating light truly is when we never allow ourselves to sit in darkness.

Steps to Becoming an Uncovered Artistry Artisan

Once you have applied via our website and received a confirmation email from us, please read these steps to becoming a UA artisan:

1. You choose the products you would like to sell with UA and provide the wholesale prices. Please send us a line sheet with this information. UA will markup your product 50% when we sell it online.
2. UA will send you a purchase order for your products. If the wholesale price of your product is over $20, UA may not be able to purchase your products to hold on inventory. If this is the case, see the process "If you products are made-to-order" below.
3. We will photograph your products and put them online.
4. If your products are made-to order: When a customer buys a product, we will send you a PO. You will ship the item to us, and we will package it and ship to the customer.
If you products are not made to-order: We will purchase a large number of your pieces to have on inventory. The number will be determined on a case-by-case basis. When a customer buys a product, we will package it and ship it directly to her.
