Support Local Makers
We want to celebrate the vendors, artisans, makers in our Mar Vista Music & Art Walk community! These small business owners need your support. During times like this, during the Corona pandemic, it becomes crystal clear that buying from small businesses is so important to the economic and physical wellness of our local communities. The next time you need to order something, skip Amazon and shop from one of these artisans instead. They appreciate your support more than you know, and keeping your hard-earned money in the community helps us all. Thank you!

Cosmic Twins

Downtown Los Angeles at an ordinary art show, we were introduced to each other by way of a mutual acquaintance. The instant recognition of a true cosmic alignment was clear, we had to be friends, immediately. Before we met, Katya Gogol of Moscow, was a jeweler for her company Petra Lis; and Katt Deschene was a product developer and mineral vendor from Southern California. We had the same interests, same hair, same age, and almost the same name. To ignore such a string of synchronicity was impossible. Within a few months, we worked our first event together and had learned a profound trust and appreciation for each other. Four months after meeting each other for the first time we formed Cosmic Twins LLC. This was the birth of a commitment to each other, to learn how to communicate with each other, respect each other’s ideas, and work together for the greater good of Cosmic Twins.
