Graber Designs, founded in the fall of 2000 by Ann and Keith Graber Miller, is a small business that provides aesthetic consulting services and markets Graber family art (paintings, limited edition prints, books) and art by international craftspeople. Featured among our art and antiques are hand-woven Bulgarian kilim rugs; Orthodox icons painted using the techniques of the ancient masters; kilim pillow shams and pads made from antique kilims; Chinese peasant paintings; Asian art and antiques; Russian lacquered boxes; Chinese teapots; Haitian paintings; Panamanian molas; and other exotic artifacts from around the world. Watercolors by Ann Graber Miller, who holds an M.A. in art from Western Michigan University, and children’s books illustrated by her sisters, also are featured in our shop. Some of our works are chosen by Ann’s sister Susan Graber Hunsberger, who lives in Sofia, Bulgaria, and works directly with artists and weavers and their intermediaries, providing income for these extraordinary craftspeople. We also hand-select all of our other art and antiques, traveling to various locations in Asia, the Caribbean, and Eastern Europe. Whenever possible, we purchase directly from artisans because of our commitment to fair trade. Although we operate primarily over the internet, we also exhibit a sampling of our works at 133 S. Main Street in downtown Goshen. We also are happy to set up visits to our home gallery.
