The St.Clair Project

My biggest custom project & largest professional undertaking to-date: I was contracted to create, deliver, and install 32 large-scale acrylic/resin pieces for the interior of a home. Every one of them built from scratch from the base to the final layer of resin, with the majority of the work being completed in just over 3 months time. The awesome people at pictureframes.com made all the frames for me. An initial visit to the location was made for measurements & price quote; each piece was customized according to a designated color palette & amount of wall space needing to be covered. The large hexagonal artwork was created to match another artwork the client had purchased years prior. Delivery & installation was completed with the help of friends.
