RECENT COMMISSION
FEATURED:JOHN H, STROGER, JR. HOSPITAL
Commissioned in 2022 by the Cook County John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital. It’s not everyday that e gets to make a piece with the kind words “… regardless of the ability to pay.” written on the front. It’s a gift for their retiring doctors. They asked for a beautiful face, similar to the one in the art on the outside of their building from the 1880’s. Right up Mike’s alley!
