Who We Are
Maggie
She dedicated a career to the education of the children of New Mexico and Texas based on the arts. She now continues to spread the inspiration of art through beautifully inlayed precious turquoise in some of the most unique live edge hardwoods that mother nature has provided.
Greg
He had a career of responsibly exploring and developing the earth’s natural resources in New Mexico, Texas and around the world.
Together we both aspire to bring smiles to one home at a time through creative and unique applications of art for daily enjoyment. We think this world can use a few more smiles at least once a day. Enjoy!
