A few years ago I had an interior designer based in Denver, Colorado ask me to meet with the owner of a cupcake shop in the Highland’s neighborhood. I was to propose a custom art installation that would act as a marketing beacon for the shop. The client was stuck on the concept of a wall mural. I told them that the mural would be an option however, I felt it would lack originality and would not make as powerful of a statement as a three dimensional artwork would.
The design I came up with was to create a giant cupcake fabricated from solid Maple. I took images from their bakeshop kitchen and assembled a colorful collage that was pigment based ink transferred to the surface of the wooden cupcake. In addition to the cupcake I proposed a life size 6 foot wooden rolling pin to be suspended from the ceiling.
The most challenging part of this commercial art installation was that the structural supports for both the cupcake and the rolling pin had to be installed prior to the drywall being installed and required quite a bit of strategic planning to accomplish. Additionally, the copper support brackets for the rolling pin were designed to attach to the rolling pin and the ceiling substructure in very specific mathematical locations. There was very little room for error as the cost and schedule constraints made an errorless installation the only acceptable outcome.
Out of all of the custom art installations that I have been a part of here in Colorado, this was by far the most challenging.
Art curation services is an art in itself. The color compositions of the art, size dimensions, placement heights and wall surface materialities are just and handful of the important considerations when curating artwork placements and final installation.
What I make a point to emphasize to my clients is the fact that if the art is curated and placed improperly it will have a lasting negative impact on how the living space is experienced. The architecture and interior furnishings also play a major role in my visual thought process, when I am curating. When done to perfection, art curation and installation creates spaces that flow and take the viewer on an intentional and impactful journey that will leave a lasting impression even after leaving the space.
Please consider Keywitz Art Installation for all of your Colorado art service needs. I love my job and approach it with a passion and energy that is contagious and uniquely engaging.

Art Installation

When it comes to art installation services, I approach the craft with both a creative eye and a technical mindset. For me, the arrangement and flow of colors and compositions are crucial to the success of each project. While I always welcome input from clients and collaborators, I also provide feedback to ensure that the art has a profound impact on the space it inhabits.
Taking the technical aspect seriously, I put great emphasis on the precision involved in picture and art hanging. Utilizing Leica beam lasers and Stabila stick levels, I ensure each piece is perfectly level and plumb. Instead of relying solely on hanging wires, I opt for drings on the framing structure, providing at least two contact points with installation brackets attached to the wall. This wireless hanging method along with the placement of rubber bumpers, placed on the bottom corners of each piece, offers protection and stability, preventing art from shifting over time.
One specialized service I offer is gallery wall installation, where art pieces are grouped in unique geometric patterns or standard grid configurations. I meticulously plan these compositions by laying out the pieces on the floor first, adjusting the pieces until the energy flows harmoniously. Transferring the art from the floor to the wall involves precise measurements with very little room for error, making this type of installation both challenging and rewarding.
Amidst numerous art installation providers in Colorado, my aim is to stand out by inspiring clients with my technical expertise and creative approach. I’m passionate about every aspect of installation and eager to help with your next project. Feel free to reach out with any questions or details about your installation needs—I’m here to assist you every step of the way.
Mirror Installation

The mirror—an everyday object that holds both literal and metaphorical significance in our lives. It reflects not just our physical appearance, but also our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us. As we gaze into it, we seek validation, motivation, and perhaps even a glimpse of our ideal selves. Whether it’s for positive reinforcement or self-improvement cues, the mirror is a powerful tool we rely on daily.
From an installation standpoint, mirrors present unique challenges due to their weight and fragile nature. Custom solutions are often necessary to ensure their safe and secure placement. While functionality typically guides decisions regarding height and location, there’s also room for artistic expression, such as creating a gallery wall of mirrors purely for aesthetic purposes.
Approaching mirror installation with the same precision as art, I employ specialized techniques to ensure a flawless result. Utilizing snap toggle bolts and proprietary bolt and washer assemblies designed for drywall, I can securely install mirrors weighing up to 150 lbs without the need for structural stud members. This method offers flexibility in placement, allowing for perfect positioning without constraints.
For mirrors exceeding 150 lbs, I recommend seeking alternative installation partners. This limitation not only ensures safety but also preserves my own physical well-being, preventing the strain that heavy installations can place on the body.
Consider me for your next mirror installation project, and rest assured that your mirror will continue to serve as a source of reinforcement and reflection for years to come.

Keywitz Art Installation takes pride in offering specialized art transportation services tailored to clients who prioritize the safety and exclusivity of their artwork. Operating with a 2023 AWD Mercedes Sprinter van, each piece is handled with utmost care and attention to detail. Before transport, all artwork is meticulously surface wrapped with acid-free silicone release paper, followed by a layer of spun-bound acid-free polyester foam core sheathing. This dual-layer protection acts as a barrier against abrasion and damage, ensuring the artwork arrives at its destination in pristine condition.
To further safeguard the artwork during transit, pieces are secured to a proprietary vertical laminated wooden slat wall. This innovative system prevents shifting or tilting, keeping the artwork vertical and fixed in place throughout the journey. Whether transporting a single piece or an entire collection, Keywitz Art Installation caters to clients across Colorado and neighboring states, including Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico.
