About

Mixed Media Artist.

I like to describe my work as a balance of hard and soft, both in material and in design. With my love for vintage styling and the notion of joining different materials and colors, Dovetails and Darts is an art project that keeps evolving. All pieces are made using domestic hardwoods and sustainable materials. Each piece is handmade or hand-painted, one-at-a-time, with high aspirations and lots of ‘character’ in North Park, San Diego, Ca.

Xx,
