The people behind the gallery
Meet Mark & Deb.
Mark purchased The Wood Merchant in 2014, the same year Deb joined as manager. Their partnership and shared interest in art and craftsmanship later led them to open Waterfall Gallery in 2019.
Deb Storey grew up in Minneapolis in a family devoted to community service. Her work in nonprofits and education ranged from literacy programs for children to serving as a high school librarian. She later managed a natural foods co-op before moving to Shelter Bay in 2014, where a newspaper advertisement led her to The Wood Merchant.
A master gardener with a love of garden design, Deb is also a fiber artist who quilts, sews and knits, and dyes and prints her own fabrics and yarns.
Mark Carrier grew up in Pennsylvania and began his career in his family’s insurance agency. He later co-founded Taco Olé, a small restaurant chain in Hawaii, before moving to the Northwest in 1993. There, he and two partners established Local Access, Lewis County’s first Internet service provider.
After years in business and technology, purchasing The Wood Merchant brought Mark into the world of artists and fine craftsmanship—a new direction that eventually led to Waterfall Gallery.
