Curved Lines 1
Curved lines in the architecture of the Milwaukee Art Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The artwork in the museum is breathtaking, but the building itself is a work of art.

Who am I to ignore what the building wants? Completed…… Continue reading New Addition

With floor to ceiling windows facing…… Continue reading Hidden Stairway
