Artist/gallery owner Ruth Conklin showcases her work alongside art and handcrafted pieces by more than a hundred American artisans.

Sticks was started by Sarah Grant in 1992. Since then, Sticks has received national acclaim for their distinctive line of furniture, accessories and object art. The company began by designing smaller items such as ornaments and candlesticks, and has evolved to feature larger items such as dining sets, beds and armoires. Each piece is handcrafted within Sticks' award winning studio in Des Moines, Iowa.

The Ruth Conklin Gallery offers the Midwest’s largest selection of Sticks® furniture, accessories & object art designs. Finely crafted from birch, poplar and driftwood, the pieces are further designed with hand drawn imagery, etched contouring and vibrantly blended paint. Pieces can be embellished with 3-D wood components, metal, leather and fabric.

The entire Sticks line is constantly evolving due to the imagination of their design team and the many talented craft artisans that they employ. Every piece they produce can be personalized to feature themes, imagery or colors that reflect your own unique vision and style.
