Michael Hamson Oceanic Art/Material Culture is a private gallery dealing in museum quality art primarily from New Guinea. "With a Masters degree in African and Oceanic Art History and years of field experience in the most remote areas of New Guinea I buy and sell older, authentic art that has passed the test of time within the culture that produced and used the piece. From Utilitarian objects such as bowls, plates and drums to the more ceremonial and ritually used items as figures and masks I search for both the unusual and the classic--but always for the beautiful".

Clarke and Clarke Ethnographic Arts
Jim Clarke's passion for Asian and Tribal cultures began with his academic interests in cultural anthropology and history. While traveling in Europe, South East Asia and Africa he began independent study of the cultures that fascinated him which led to acquiring art and artifacts, some of which he collected and others he sold to continue his travel and studies. Ginny Clarke's academic and professional experience developed her expertise in the world of fashion apparel, textiles and jewelry. Her interest in tribal garments, textiles and jewelry developed as she traveled and was a perfect compliment to Jims area of interest. This marriage of experience provided the foundation for the creation of Clarke and Clarke Asian Antiques and Tribal Art. The Clarkes love of travel and the pursuit of exciting art, textiles and jewelry in the communities that create them, provide the core of the ever changing inventory in their Galleries. Every object collected, whether in the field or from old established collections, is carefully researched and its authenticity fully guaranteed. In many cases tribal art is accompanied by field notes or research.

Anahita Gallery
Do you need a 19th century marble vanity from a Turkish palace? A heavy iron lock or an old iron gate to hang it on? Or copper serving dishes, bowls and trays for a party of one or two thousand guests? All these, and much, much more, may be found at ANAHITA, a 3000 sq. foot warehouse stocked with useful and very unusual antique wooden, ceramic, copper and iron decorative objects and furnishings. The shop is geared towards professional designers and architects - but the atmosphere is casual and friendly.

Jones Gallery
We have been fine art dealers and appraisers since 1965, specializing in traditional realism by contemporary American painters and sculptors. Paintings of landscapes, still life, figurative and genre scenes in oil, pastel and watercolor. Styles of painting may be impressionistic or realistic; the same for bronze work. We handle quality paintings in the traditional manner by 19th and 20th century American and European artists. We have paintings for the serious collector as well as for the first time art buyer. We also have figurative sculpture by American artists. Again, quality art work is our by-word.

Master Weaver Bill Rafnel
The damask weave structure and block designs provide the basis for my pieces. We live within structure and yet our spirits seem to lift ever upward through the fabric of our time. Using the damask weave with ever-changing geometric shapes and color I strive to move from the fast pace of our exterior world to the center of the contemplative world, the world of serenity. My weavings are geometric landscapes that emerge through outward and inward imagery. They embody the world as seen through the spiritual insight of a power greater than ourselves. Using my hands and feet I weave the damask interlacement mixingcolor and light reflection to achieve luminescence.

Tribal Art
The result of 20 years of buying trips through the exotic islands of Borneo, Sulawesi, Bali, and the Phillipines, this collection contains a vast range of tribal artifacts - most of which can no longer be obtained. The rarity and beauty of these works of "Primitive Art" make them an excellent investment as well as a gift of graceful elegance.

Chubasco Sandals
In Baja Chubasco means a hot wind or Hurricane. For the Chubasco crew, growing up surfing, camping, diving etc. in Mexico was a way of life, still is. As was wearing the classic Mexican sandal, the "huarache" - we were so "cool". But it had a downside. The breaking-in stage was a bit painful, and while they were great for style points, you really couldn't hike, reef-walk, or get rad in them
