MARTHA CHANNER
Brings her twenty five years of experience in the interior design industry to each new project. Educated in the fine arts at Chicago’s School of The Art Institute and Barat College, she started her first design company doing fine art murals and decorative applications in 1988.
She has since contributed her design abilities to a wide variety of commercial and residential environments; co-creating with architects and other eminent design professionals in Chicago, San Diego, and the San Francisco bay area. Additionally, her involvment in the performing arts has given her a working knowledge of spatial and set design.
Through choreography, gallery presentations, and numerous theatrical productions, she has established a knack for creating ambiance with a kinetic twist. The beauty and consciousness of Sonoma County has rounded out these professional experiences with a deep reverence for nature and the bright hope of a sustainable future. www.marthachanner.com
CRAIG MITCHELL
Became involved in design as both a sculptor and a builder. His unusual approach to materials (using found objects and other recycled elements in his work) has given him a unique range and distinction in his design explorations.
Being structurally oriented, his work is engineered with balance, precision, and integrity; a refined synthesis that combines high design with strength and durability. His is the eye of the sculptor applied to functionality with ergonomic intent.
Craig has been involved in three dimensional design and construction since his days at Chico State University, where he got his degree in sculpture and psychology. All aspects of the natural world suffuse and inspire his creations. Sonoma County has been his home for over thirty years, and this exceptional eco-system is the foundation of his inspiration.
