About the Artist

Tristan is a true craftsman at heart, deeply dedicated to his art. He was born and raised in Ojai, where the surrounding landscape continues to inspire his work.

With a professional background in high-end finish carpentry and a degree in film production, Tristan brings a unique blend of precision, storytelling, and design to his art. Many pieces begin as photographs or sketches, evolving into layered compositions built from wood, color, and texture.

Each piece is laser-cut, hand-painted, and assembled in his Ojai workshop, where creative instinct meets craftsmanship. Tristan strives to source materials locally whenever possible, creating nature-inspired artwork that reflects a sense of place.

Whether depicting a real landscape or an imagined one, his pieces are meant to feel grounded and familiar—even if you’ve never stood in that place. Tristan is always happy to connect, whether you’re drawn to a finished piece or interested in collaborating on something new.
