Creative Spirit Studios came to life in the late 1980’s as an artistic expression fused with general construction skills. Artist/Designer Scott THORBERG has been designing and building unique spaces for nearly three decades, adding life to those spaces with one of a kind furniture, murals, sculpture, and

thorberg - artist’s residence - 2004-2010
It’s hard to imagine how many different spaces I’ve encountered since it all began. In 1984, at age fifteen, I literally did a complete remodel on my first bedroom. It included a built in fish tank, sky painted ceiling, rough cedar wainscot with secret compartments, speakers that blew out incense and multiple hand drawn murals. Lucky to have some cool parents!
Since then nothing has changed. Something always
needs to be built, re-built, designed, painted, and given a little love. It will always be that way, and even though I have phased out of most construction based projects, there is always something new to discover.
