Will and Art
Let's talk about art for a minute. I have, living under my very roof, one of the greatest artistic minds of modern times. That's why I've devoted much of my energies into helping see that he succeeds at his endeavors. From setting up his website (link down below) to getting his E-bay store up and running, I am working diligently to help Will reach his goals.
Let me state clearly right now, that although I am quite fond of Will, I don't believe I am terribly biased when I am saying his are the highest of quality works from talented and capable hands. Others have said the same thing over and over again, and I've seen some of his pieces go for some pretty heavy prices. I know the evidence of my own eyes, as well. Will has an eye and a hand for works of art.
About William Wagenaar:
He was the Visual Merchandise Manager at Marshall Fields from 1971 to 1978. He graduated the Harrington Institute of Interior Design in 1980, with a degree in Commercial Interior Design. Thereafter, he co-founded the Miller-Wagenaar Studio and Miller-Wagenaar School of Decorative Arts. The work of Miller-Wagenaar Studio was published in numerous magazines, and clients included World Book Encyclopedia, Firestone, First Boston, and Apple Computers. He was involved with both the Studio and School both ran until 1990.
He owned Wagenaar Studio on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach in the early 1990's and Salvare in the Miami Design district in the late 1990's. He was involved with the revival of Art Deco on South Beach and was a present in the Design District during its infancy.
He has created numerous murals and architectural finishes in Chicago, New York and Miami.
His website (created by none other than me) is here: Welcome to Wagenaar Studio Environmental Arts
