Alan Clark Whimsy Antiques and WhimSea product line
Beach rubble looks like home décor through Alan Clark’s eyes. Clark, who is behind Linden Avenue’s Whimsy Antiques with wife Karen, calls his sculptural product line WhimSea. “I love to recycle and repurpose,” Alan says of incorporating driftwood, sea glass, and other found materials into his work. The UCSB Studio Art major has an eye for stylized home décor, and according to the craftsman, a mastery of all manner of hand and electric tools is the crafty side to his creativity. The 25year veteran says he creates items like words mounted on driftwood and picture displays as an outlet for creativity and to share his creations. Find WhimSea products at Whimsy Antiques, 962 Linden Ave., Porch on Santa Claus Lane, and Plum Goods on State Street in Santa Barbara.
