Architecture
Mikel's art has also expanded into vibrant, detailed mural work that adds interest and beauty to buildings as part of their architectural features. Thanks to the size of his studio, he is able to create massive ceramics murals designed to integrate harmoniously into the landscape of a building or outdoor space.
The Mount Horeb Farmer's Co-op Project
In 2005, Mikel was commissioned to create panels to add color and interest to the Farmer's Co-Op Building, affectionately known as "The Old Co-op", in downtown Mount Horeb.
