Commission Work & Installations
I work with individuals to create custom art tailored for a specific space. Each piece I design is one of a kind. If you see something that you like, please reach out and we can discuss creating something similar.
My design process begins with an in-person or over-the-phone consultation at which time we can discuss specifics.
My studio is located in Midland, MI.
