Striking and highly decorative vintage Costa Rican ox cart (carreta) converted into a functional bar / drinks cabinet, by Joaquín Chaverri, one of the most recognized names associated with traditional Sarchí ox cart craftsmanship. This piece is entirely hand-painted in vivid, joyful colors with intricate free-hand floral and geometric motifs, a hallmark of authentic Costa Rican folk art. Originally inspired by the historic coffee-transport ox carts of Costa Rica, this example has been thoughtfully adapted for modern use as a bar. The interior features fitted bottle holders and storage compartments, making it both sculptural and practical. The removable hand-painted trays add versatility for serving or display, while the large decorative wheel and detachable yoke complete the iconic silhouette. A true statement piece that blends cultural heritage with function, ideal for a bar area, wine room, covered patio, or collector of Latin American folk art. This type of ox cart is internationally recognized as a symbol of Costa Rican identity and craftsmanship. WHILE IN GOOD CONDITION, THE CART IS MISSING THE TWO TOP TRAYS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY PART OF THE CART. IT IS SIGNED BY THE ARTIST. WE DON'T KNOW THE YEAR IT WAS MADE.

Shawna Stilwell is a local artist known for creating colorful, dynamic fluid art installations. From the artist: I originally named this piece "The Flow" because that’s what I saw in it: movement, current, momentum, and the way life carries us whether we’re ready or not. Then I put a hole through it. Not metaphorically. An actual hole. It happened while I was preparing the painting for its final resin coat. After weeks of work, right before completion, the canvas tore. I was devastated, frustrated, and convinced the piece was ruined. Then I looked at the world around me. We’re living through a moment where immigrant families are being targeted, civil rights are under attack, and institutions many people assumed would protect us have proven far more fragile than advertised. There are holes appearing everywhere in the fabric of our society. In families. In communities. In our sense of safety. In our democracy. The hole in the painting is still there. The canvas tore at exactly the moment I thought the painting was finished. That feels like an appropriate metaphor for the times we’re living in. Many of us are staring deeply into a black hole of uncertainty, watching familiar markers disappear while being told everything is fine. The hole in this painting wasn’t planned. The damage being done to our country is. Many of the forces driving today’s attacks on immigrant communities, civil rights, and democratic institutions have spent decades building toward this moment. We are not witnessing an accident. We are witnessing a strategy. I considered repairing the hole so completely that nobody would ever know it happened. Instead, I left evidence. Art does not owe us perfection. Life certainly doesn’t. There is only one version of this painting. The one that got punched in the face by the universe a few days before delivery and showed up anyway. Created in support of 805 UndocuFund and SB Resiste."

Fine art painter.

Daniel Linz's work includes contemporary landscapes and figurative art. Linz states: "As a child I would paint with my grandmother on the banks of the Ohio River. She would say to me "Don't paint the river, paint the water." I begin my paintings with a direct representation of nature, most often a tree or group of trees, or trees in the urban landscape. Then continue to work the image to extract more of its essence. I try to establish the comfortable identifiable elements of landscape then proceed to move and extend those elements to an edge of sorts through line and form and color." He is a professor at UCSB.
