Collette Collins Design

Collette Collins is an architectural artist custom-sculpting residential, commercial and public spaces into functional design. Her award-winning creations are showcased in restaurants, feature films, museums, and private homes. Her experience designing and building unique furniture and cabinetry spans 30 years. She has worked in furniture restoration, cabinetmaking, set design, prop building, sculpting, set decoration, display, commercial estimating and project management for all manners of permanent and impermanent structure.

Her love of art led her to first study music, (that’s Collette’s composition backing the video) – and then Fine Arts at Cabrillo College and San Francisco State University. Today she finds inspiration in a host of sources and materials. Her latest love – encaustic painting – combining leather, rubber, acrylic, exotic veneer and salvaged wood- has ignited a firestorm of new and exciting ideas. Like a three-dimensional collage, these materials have limitless versatility in her hands to take on almost any characteristic or style.
