History
The original Artisan began in 1982, in the Hamptons of New York, building custom homes and furniture designed by some of the brightest architects and designers emerging in the '80's. After 10 years it was time to shift gears to my deeper calling of counseling and teaching personal & spiritual growth, which I've done since moving to California in 1993. However, in 2013, I found myself captured by the Matthew Turner tall ship project in Sausalito and was soon working on staff full-time. My main task was to get the hull built. Specifically, cutting, setting and fairing the frames (ribs) and then steaming and bending on the planks. After seeing Matthew Turner launched (leak-free!), I knew I wanted to resume making beautiful things...and so opened, what would have been, 25 years ago, the shop of my dreams. We're here to fulfill whatever you imagine: custom furniture and cabinets, free standing or built-in; fun stuff drawn up by your architect, designer--or best of all--me and you!
