Donna keeps the wheels turning at Creative Arts. She is the organizational link in the chain that keeps everything in order and accounted for. After work, Donna likes to spend time with her family and pets in addition to working on her line of lithographs. Though the color palette of her lithographs may appear stark at first glance, you may want to take a closer look. “People usually think I only work in black and white, but do you know how many colors you have to mix with the black to get the right tone for the image?” It is that same attention to detail that makes Donna invaluable to the Creative Arts team.

Mike is the final link in delivering customer satisfaction – literally. Our product is no good unless delivered and installed properly. Mike is an outstanding fabricator who often personally works on the projects he and his crews install.
