HOOP CITY
When you meet Art Hansen, hear his hearty laugh, and see his easy smile, you’d never know that this purveyor of recrafted arts was once sought out as a dynamic corporate sales executive. Art Hansen’s love of the uncommon and yet-to-be-created stole him away from the business world, and, thankfully for us, dropped him into the world of wildly unique, stunningly beautiful, handcrafted furnishings.

CHALK ART
Introducing Marianne Bates: Visionary. Mother. Big thinker. And, even bigger doer. Trained as an industrial designer, Marianne found her interests shifting away from designing utilitarian products that sit on the shelves at Target, and towards creating stunning, unique graphics.Upon this career-shifting discovery, Marianne has created a niche following of some of the most high end chalk art you will ever see. The spectacular piece she created for Crossover Health was done completely free hand and every font was produced at craftsman quality from memory.

SURFER'S ROW
At the precise intersection of exceptional style and innovative design, lives the functional art of noted surfboard shaper, Matt Parker. Raised near (and in) the home waters in San Clemente, and trained as a traditional graphic designer, Matt soon saw a need within the coastal community for surfboards that were both expertly crafted and exquisitely beautiful. We are grateful that seven of Matt’s remarkable creations display their good looks on our wall, instead of carving up the famous breaks at Trestles.
