    Rebecca and Dan Cvammen are artists. Though, that's not what their business cards say.

    Rebecca specializes in ceramics and papermaking, while Dan started drawing in junior high, sketching cartoons mostly.

    Over the past three years, it has become what he says is a "100-percent concentration" for him.

    "I think there were maybe five days where I didn't draw something," he says.

    "He was sick or driving somewhere," Rebecca explains.

    While Art is a hobby for the young couple and though they are both content with their jobs, it is their love of art that comes across in their house. Every piece, from paintings to wall hangings to the bowls they eat out of were made by one of them.

    "It's almost like if you put everything from start to finish in order," Dan says. "Then it would be almost like an autobiography."

    The artistic ability comes in handy as far as gifts are concerned too, though Dan and Rebecca say they sort of feel like they're cheating people.

    "They always tell me how much they love it," Dan says. "But in my mind, I'm thinking well I just made it, it's not as good as buying something."
