About the Artist
I create authentic-looking custom interpretations of 18th and 19th century, period tavern, and trade signs. Using very old reclaimed barn lumber I match the sign content with the perfect piece of wood to form the base of the hand-painted artwork. The end result is a unique piece of museum-quality art that is sure to be the focal point of any room. My signs can feature your pet, your name, an animal or subject matter of your choice. I also recreate historic and antique signs for museums and private use.William Meyers Painter & Maker website William Meyers Painter & Maker
