About the Artist – Michael DeCesare
Michael DeCesare writes:
"Photography is my first language, and I try to speak softly in color, light, and tone. I do not enforce my will on a digital negative with software skills. Instead, I collaborate with an image as one would with a trusted friend, making a journey of discovery together. A deep, personal commitment to environmental preservation underscores my pledge to do no harm and leave no trace wherever I shoot."
Selected elements from Michael’s photography are carefully reproduced for our bookmarks, pairing his imagery with Mitercraft’s handcrafted hardwood designs.
The peaceful beach photograph captures the calming beauty of the coastline, turning this bookmark into a small keepsake that brings the serenity of the shore to every reading moment.
Craftsmanship and Stewardship Make the Difference

Since 1991, we’ve been dedicated to the art of handcrafted woodworking, combining time-honored techniques with modern technology to create heirloom-quality bookmarks. Every step of our process—cutting, shaping, sanding, polishing, laser engraving, and finishing—is carried out with precision and love. Our commitment to the environment extends beyond our products, with thoughtful recycling practices that ensure each piece is unique. When you receive a Mitercraft bookmark, you’re holding a small piece of art, created with care from start to finish.
