JIM OLARTE

Jim Olarte is a Laguna Beach-based artist who started his practice with macramé in high school. His creativity fueled his career in set designing, prop styling, and operating the seminal vintage store Locals Only for more than 20 years. He has exhibited at the Craft and Folk Art Museum in L.A. and created installations and sculptures for private collections and clients such as A’Maree’s, the Four Seasons, and Tommy Bahama. 

CASA CDM is beyond thrilled to present a new installation by Jim Olarte. This commissioned work spans the gallery's back wall at eight by nine feet and is constructed from leather, Manila rope, and black yachting rope; Jim Olarte’s black rope is exclusive to CASA CDM.
