I’m super happy with this new piece based on a familiar view: the Lake Michigan shoreline. These clients responded to the graphic abstraction in VISTA: grasslands and requested a “Chicago version” with a similar palette and level of abstraction for a corporate office space.

If you know me, you know I love living near Lake Michigan. I take every chance to walk or paddle. I am endlessly fascinated by the palette of blues, grays, whites, creams…and then there’s all the sunrise drama out there.

I loved creating this super shimmery version of our shoreline. The edged panel hangs within a frame of LED lighting for extra shine. LOVE!
