About Us

Art Naturally Speaking was started by Dan Gaube in 2005 in Lake Tahoe, California. Inspiration for these works of art comes from the beauty of our natural world.  Products are often made with sustainable, salvaged, recycled, and/or upcycled materials from nature.

Dan is co-owner of Mountain Arts Collective, an art gallery located at the Train Depot in Historic Downtown Truckee, CA. The majority of Art Naturally Speaking's woodwork and jewelry can be found here.  Also, some of the jewelry is available at Blue Wolf Studios in Kings Beach, CA. 

The creations are made at a workshop/studio based in Kings Beach, CA.  Many materials used are gathered locally here in the mountains of the Lake Tahoe area, in addition to the coastal areas of northern California. Every product shown in the entire collection represents a great appreciation for our natural environment, something we all need more of in this fragile world.

Dan studied woodworking under the wing of a master wooden yacht craftsman for five years and has been making his own wood creations for 12 years.  His woodworking repertoire includes tables, chairs, lamps, clocks, mirrors, benches, shelves, wall art and sculptures.   

Dan is very passionate about his unique jewelry niche that combines natural and recycled materials such as wood, abalone, metal, gemstones and sea glass. He has been in the jewelry business for over seven years.
