custom furniture & cabinetry

In 2009, we launched a furniture & accessories collection, The Tradition of the New - unique designs - a synthesis of folk art, antiques and contemporary living . In 2012, we were honored that our Mill Cove table was named Editors' Choice in Down East magazine's 58th annual 'Best of Maine' issue.  Our Golding Gourmet cabinet was featured in Old House Journal magazine.

Currently we custom build everything from tables to medicine cabinets for local customers in our coastal Maine workshop on Boyden Lake. Fineartistmade is a designated 'Maine Made' company. 

Here's what some folks had to say:

Patrick Mealey and Joyce Jackson bring to furniture design the same blend of traditional aesthetics and clean, contemporary lines that they employ in the historic  renovations they've completed in and around Eastport.  - Virginia Wright, Senior Editor, Down East magazine

I received your Sweetgrass box as a birthday gift - it is a totally wonderful success. So often when you see things on the screen they look good and then disappoint when actually in hand. Not so in this case. The box was all and more than I expected....beautiful to the hand, the eye and perfect in function. The pattern reminded me of Gee's Bend Quilts, Anni Albers textiles, and African weavings. The vibration of the edge of the stencil, where the gold and deep black brown meet, is just right, the colors rich and sophisticated. Your blend of minimalism, craft and folk is skillful and fresh. It has a proud position in our space. Thank you!

This is a beautiful piece, well made from a sturdy, thick slice of solid maple. The cutting board arrived feeling soft as silk, and I am amazed at how hard the wood is- while I am expecting it to build up knife marks over its lifetime of use, my knives have yet to scratch it! It is a treasure, and a perfectly modern silhouette that nods to traditional shapes, fitting in with my 18th century home, while staying funky, geometric, and cheerily light (love the maple!) in a sort of Scandinavian-modern style. Fast shipping and personal communication too. Thank you, Fine Artist Made!
