Judge Stormer Commissions Artwork from Summit DD’s Dream Out Loud Studio
(Tallmadge, Ohio) – Offices at the Summit County Probate Court just got a little brighter. On Thursday, September 12, custom works from Summit DD’s Dream Out Loud Studio were installed. “The pieces add so much color to our walls. They will be a pleasure to look at every day,” stated Judge Elinore Marsh Stormer. A strong supporter of the studio, Judge Stormer specifically commissioned the works for her offices.
“The artists quickly began sketching ideas once we got the project. We submitted a few to the court and they picked the water lilly design,” remarked Summit DD Business Innovations Manager, Jacquie Owens. “All of the Dream Out Loud Studio artists contributed to the pieces.”
“It was a fun project. I dressed up today to match the artwork,” stated Dream Out Loud Studio Artist, Mary. Mary was excited to deliver the pieces to Judge Stormer at the installation event.
