This week’s artist talk features Marquetry Artist Mac Hillenbrand. Mac is a multifaceted artist who is honing and mastering his skills of the renaissance art form of marquetry. Combining his love of the ocean, the surf and marquetry, his wood veneering techniques explore the organic parallels between wood grain characteristics and oceanic textures. Mac creates unique and distinct surf art all with repurposed wood. He opened his first gallery Amber Waves of Grain in Del Mar, CA, is the founder of the infamous underground art space warehouse rock club and speakeasy The French Fry Factory, and is DJ Old Spice in his spare time spinning vinyl soul and oldies records at dive bars.
