HISTORY

I’m grateful to my dad for instilling in me this drive and enthusiasm for art, music, and creativity!

Since 1986, this father and son team has been working together as an artistic,

family duo who is constantly raising the bar on what it means to be creative. 

Starting out with furniture. Custom, Rustic Furniture that many people were searching for because everything else has been done before. 

Jake and Arian built all of this rustic furniture in a small workshop, located right on the side of Highway 68 in Rinconada, NM. The structure still stands and was known as The Dirt Floor Gallery.

Proud to be working as a Father and Son Team for over 37 years.  

Together they have over 70 years of combined experience as custom woodworkers and high end craftsmen.  

We set up at the annual Dixon Art Studio Tour in Dixon, NM- Also had a shop in Taos, NM. This was in the late 90s where we worked so hard for over a year. We moved up there with hopes of making some huge deals in the “Big City” 😉 Those huge deals were hard to come by, but we still were making it happen.
As Father and son, we were unstoppable and still continue rockin it here in LA.

The Harwell Employees

We worked with Will Smith several years ago in Calabasas, CA. Will was very humble every time that I met him and he respected my artistic ideas. I designed the rustic, speaker boxes + the custom bar in his ball room. We used the materials that I brought from New Mexico. There was a massive pile of willow (from the Rio Grande) that we brought in to complete this job. The Smith family provided us with so much respect and it was such an honor to work with them. Thank you.”
