Build for a private party in Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar.Job title: Lead PainterBut I couldn’t have done it without the help and guidance of Maria Jaramillo and Richard Ewan. For just a private party, it was a huge, complicated job. BTS A crazy amount of work for one party!
Duplex
Feature film with Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore Lead Painter: Chris BarnesJob title: Set Painter This was the most beautiful set I ever worked on. My pictures don’t do it justice, and it’s a shame the movie didn’t turn out the way everyone hoped and disappeared into oblivion.
RedBubble Shop
So, I finally opened a Redbubble shop! Not much is in there right now, but hopefully I’ll get more in there soon. My goal is to have a theme of animal related items, as in animal activism, conservation, etc. So far, my favorite is my Orca Fight Club – since I am definitely #teamorca. (If you have been hearing about boats being capsized by orcas, I feel bad for the people losing their boats, but I think Mother Nature has had enough of human shenanigans!) You can find my Redbubble shop here.

Netflix/ Family Reunion
This week, the last episode of Family Reunion airs on Netflix! Happy to be a part of it on and off for a few years. It was 3 seasons, but it was broken off into 2 part sections, throw in the pandemic, and it seemed to span a long time? Lead painter was Hern (Juan) Hernandez, although there were a few others in the beginning, ultimately it was Hern’s show. https://vimeo.com/552667211?share=copy#t=0
Kitchen Remodel
Tim Zeug and I remodeled our own kitchen. (We were living in my mother’s building, so she was very happy). We did 100% all the work ourselves. Below is before and afters and some BTS work in progress. The building was originally from the 1920s but had a horrible remodel job in the 70s. We wanted to restore it to its original style. We used all real materials, cutting the tiles, and Tim custom built all the cupboards. (No Home Depot off the shelf stuff!) Tim tore out unnecessary soffits and discovered the kitchen window was originally twice the size! Kitchen was lighter and airier, and had twice the cupboard space. Before and Afters Some BTS photos…
