Jim Annis

You’ve found it – the custom rocking chair you’ve been looking for!

My name is Jim Annis and I am the owner of Your Family Rocking Chair. In my corporate life as a CEO, one of my underlying goals has always been to create a legacy. Now I am building a legacy for my family and yours, based on the values of family, fine craftsmanship and heirloom quality furniture.

Our handiwork is not a mass produced chair just sitting alone and ignored in your store, residence or vacation home. If that is what you are looking for, we are not a good fit. These rocking chairs are made and nurtured lovingly, one at a time, much like a person.

Our “Why”

As a family, we have an enormous amount of respect and reverence for the past. Each room in our house has an heirloom that is cherished. My hope is that in 200 years, one of you will feel the same way I feel about our 200 year old Family Rocking Chair, because you took the time to appreciate and leave a meaningful legacy that rocks!

We trust that this chair will become part of your family.

  • Bonnie Kennedy

    As with anything I have done throughout the years, I jumped in to basketmaking with both feet and have tried most everything available. I have found you can make a basket out of almost anything.

  • Don Kennedy

    My art consists of copper and brass media; it varies from flowers and plants to trays, plates, bowls, and wall hangings. Most of the materials have been rescued from the salvage yard.

  • Donna Smit

    I love the reflections of glass and the colors, just as water reflects and captures the intensity of a sunrise or sunset.

  • Gini Campbell Annis

    To me, realism is magic. Not only is the artist working with abstraction of design and color, but also with dimensionality. To create the illusion of depth and form on a flat surface is to observe, understand and recreate the physical aspects of light.

  • Holly Gardner

    I enjoy designing landscapes, flora and fauna and hope to start adding structures and building in my quilts soon.

  • Jann Selleck

    While continuing to paint and work in various forms of sculpture, my current focus is in papermaking and related fiber and book arts. Visitors to my Studio will have the opportunity to become personally involved in the process of making Handmade Paper from start to finish.

  • Jill Atkins

    I am a 45 year resident of Nevada and have lived all over the world. My work is influenced by the sights and cultures of Europe, Asia, and the South Pacific as well as all corners of the United States.

  • JoAnn Lippert

    JoAnn Lippert travels the world combining a passion for adventure travel and photography. Her passion for mountain climbing, trekking and whitewater rafting has taken her to all corners of the earth.

  • Julia Tachihara

    I’ve always enjoyed doing all kinds of craftwork from working with wood and needlework to beading and glass. I’ve been hooked on glass since the 1980’s when I took my first stained glass class.

  • Kathleen Hallamore-Best

    Since my earliest airplane flights those forms and patterns have found their way into my designs. For years I focused on art glass, starting with leaded glass and then fused glass and etched glass. Recently I have been spending more time making jewelry.

  • Katie Packham

    The phrase “no job is too big or too small” certainly applies to my work as I have worked on all scales, including 1200sf of mosaic mural for the pools at the Peppermill, down to the small inspirational plaques that I make on a daily basis and take to local festivals.

  • Kathryn Dudley

    After raising my son I became committed to re-exploring my love of painting. I began watercolor classes in February of 2008 and have been actively painting since.

  • Lynn B. Starnes

    I consider myself to be wildlife “portrait artist.” Whenever a photographer makes a portrait, timing is of great importance. The expression of the subject will make the difference between a successful and unsuccessful photograph.

  • Pam Sutton

    Pam Sutton creates handmade glass jewelry, plus items for the home and garden. She believes in elegance through simplicity, combined with a focus on functional use.

  • Tricia Poulos-Leonard

    I am a graduate of UCLA with a degree in studio art. While at UCLA I studied with Richard Diebenkorn, who greatly influenced my development at an artist.

  • William Hutchison

    Most of my work is very linear and precise with close attention to detail and finishing. And of course I like to add occasional whimsical creations.

  • Louise Noel

    The big Nevada skies, the rainbow of western mountain ranges and the huge palette of summer flower are the inspirations for my silk paintings. Working with silks and dyes has given me the perfect way to illustrate the world as I see it.
