When Ashley Wiggins was 8 years old, her parents sold their home in Georgia and moved her and her brother into an RV. They traveled the United States for several years until settling in Michigan, where Ashley’s father set up an art studio. After college, she agreed to temporarily help out with marketing, but she fell in love with the products and process. Since then, Ashley has taken over the family business, which grew from three employees to more than 30, most of whom are longtime friends and classmates.

Notes
Based on the orientation of the lakes chosen, some measurements will be opposite. For example, based on orientation of lakes, artwork could be either 11" x 14" or 14" x 11".

Please note that the 11" x 14" size features one layer of water depth, and topographical information is shown with one level of laser cutting, as opposed to multiple levels.

Lake View
My husband was so surprised by his gift ot the Lake Monticello Topography Art! It means a lot to both of us. We love living at Lake Monticello. We met and got married late in life and feel this is the ideal place for us as a retired couple. The lake and surrounding area are full of wildlife, trees and a sense of peaceful beauty. We are fortunate to live here and appreciate being able to display this wonderful visual to show that.

My favorite piece
I"d been pining to get this for our family for years and finally ordered it this past Christmas. The detailed etching and carving, beautiful natural and aqua coloring and retro design, and 3-D depth are just beautiful in the natural wood frame. My wife's family has had a place on the lake for decades. It's where I proposed to my wife and where we've taken our kids every summer and some Christmases for twenty years. We can't always be there, but to have this beautiful wood cut map in our living room reminds us of being at the lake whenever we look at it.

Gorgeous finished product!
The topographical map of Webb Lake was even better and more beautiful in person than it looked in the proofs the artist sent before creating! It's incredibly detailed, down to the fire lane roads that surround the lake. The gift recipient was absolutely thrilled; especially when she was able to identify her favorite places around the lake instantly. It's sturdy but not heavy, and the frame color pairs perfectly with the carving itself. I will happily buy similar products from this company in the future! #sweepstakes

Perfect gift for my Parents
I ordered this gift for my parents who live in Michigan. They have a boat on Lake Huron, and regularly travel to spend time on Superior. I couldn't make up my mind on which lake to get so I opted for them all with the Great Lakes map. It arrived earlier than expected, packaged phenomenally, and was everything we were hoping for as a gift for them. I cannot wait to see them open it on Christmas morning. I cannot recommend this enough.

Great gift for a couple.
They loved it so much that they hung it in their office so that they could see it everyday. It also is a big conversation starter. Everyone talks about the details.

It's incredible!
Our small lake is one of the Carolina Bays that are sprinkled along the east coast between Delaware and Florida. The elliptical depressions are believed to have been formed by a meteorite shower millions of years ago. I never dreamed that our small 1100 acre lake would be in your data base for the etched topography art work! My family has lived on the lake for over sixty years. I bought two wall art pieces for Christmas gifts, one for my husband and one for my brother! What uncommon and beloved gifts!

Great Gift for Lake Loving In-Laws
The topographic map of Lake Murray is beautiful and the frame is very well made. I love that the map includes a few details about the lake; it is a fun addition that makes the piece feel more personalized.

Such a Beautiful and Unique Gift
I got this as an anniversary gift for my husband. I was looking for something unique and we just purchased a new vacation home on a lake, so this was absolutely the perfect gift. The detail on the map is great and the colors blend in nicely with our rustic cabin decor.

Does the size of the picture dictate the number of layers? For instance, does the 14"x18" have less layers than the 24"x30"?
Verified reply from Itamar
Hello! Thats a great question, the information in the Lake Topography Art will not change in sizes, only the print size will.

What does the asterisk next to certain lake options mean?
Verified reply from Merve
The asterisk means that the lake does not have depth information and will appear with improvised contour lines.

Does the multilayer version, is the back of the frame flat? Trying to figure out if I will be able to write on the back of the frame for a gift.
Verified reply from Anisa
The multi-layer map is framed and there is a 'matte black' backboard in the rear of the frame that keeps the artwork from falling out. You could put your message there, but you would need to put a sticker on it and write on the sticker, or maybe use a gel pen because regular pen ink won't be legible on that surface.

What are the dimensions of the finished product framed?
Verified reply from Marisa
Thanks for your question. Based on the orientation of the lakes chosen, some will measure 18" H x 22" W and others will measure 22" H x 18" W -- both of these are with the frames. Without the frame, the artwork measures 16" H x 20" W.

I love the idea of having this in my home on the lake. Is the frame available in anything other than Oak? I would prefer a darker wood frame or perhaps a "weathered" look. I suppose another option might be to provide the oak frame without any stain or protective coating, so I can stain it to my preference??

We're so glad you like the Lake Topography Art! Unfortunately, we don't have the piece available in any other colors or woods at the moment, but we'll pass the suggestion along to our merchandising team.
