Work
Commissioned Art
We commissioned a local Connecticut artist to create an undersea world for a Pediatric unit. She used oil pastel on paper to create each original piece. There were a total of 20 unique images. The children, families and staff loved them.
Custom Showcase
This project consisted of designing and constructing a custom frame showcase to hold an 8 x 8′ original drawing of an Astronaut that has been signed over the years by NASA Astronauts. The case weighed over 200lbs and has LED lighting around the interior and is directly hardwired. Three UV filtering glass panels slide open to allow access for additional signatures.
Installation
This was a huge undertaking with the center painting a colossal 72 x 120″ and 300lbs! This was a three day project converting a historic church into a Law Library. The works consisted of large scale original paintings and 22kt hand carved frames from the 18th to 20th centuries. We are very proud to have been a part of this historic project.
