Our Team

A NEW Initiative!!!

​​

Now based in Denver, we are launching art commissions as a family. Melanie Schambach, alongside her husband, Andrew Swinney. Together, they combine artistry, building, and design expertise to create impactful indoor/outdoor installations.

Andrew, who runs a sister construction company, brings over 20 years of construction experience to the team specializing in retaining wall. He builds and prepares any type of creative structure to meet the needs of the space, ensuring structural integrity and durability. Melanie draws on her two decades as a painter to craft custom visual narratives, bringing your story to life through every detail—lighting, surface materials, and mood—resulting in installations that engage, captivate and inspire. 🌟

Working with Melanie is an absolute dream. Melanie is kind and sparkly, and has a quality about her that can only be described as magical. She is a dreamer, but also a doer, and that rare combo means that what she creates is infused with so much love and skill.
