Hallwood Studio began in my home town of South Bend, Indiana. While exploring the creative arts, I began traveling to learn the various techniques involved in the decorative arts industry.
Having strong attention to detail, decorative artistry quickly evolved into cabinetry refinishing, which has become the brunt of our business. Over the past 18 years, I have trained all over the country with master craftspeople and artisans in every service that I provide. I keep current with trends and techniques, and am fully insured.
I have been fortunate to work with incredibly talented industry professionals and artisans on projects from The Hamptons in New York to Santa Monica, California. I am presently located in the Glen Ellyn/Wheaton area, a western suburb of Chicago, with my daughter. I do consider traveling for larger, creative projects.
In addition to my professional training, I also have a Bachelor of Science from Indiana University with concentrations in fine art and science. My passions are fine art photography and exploring the country with my camera.
I pride myself on my creativity, incredible attention to detail, project efficiency and thoroughness, along with my ability to work well and 'hear' my clients needs/vision, resulting in beautifully executed projects. There is nothing I love more than great design.
It is impossible to wear all of the hats, so I happily collaborate with interior designers, home stagers/organizers, real estate agents and home remodeling professionals.
When you are looking to make improvements in your home or business, please consider me.
