Gwen Frostic Studio, Nature artist studio in Benzonia Township, Michigan, US
The building incorporates natural materials like logs and driftwood, featuring long low-pitched roofs and large windows overlooking the Michigan countryside.
Sara Gwendolyn Frostic established this studio in 1964, expanding it from nine thousand to twenty-one thousand square feet over fifteen years.
The studio houses Presscraft Papers, where Frostic created intricate designs carved from linoleum blocks for prints and published twenty-two illustrated books.
The property includes forty acres of land with walking trails and a pond, operating as a retail store during summer months.
Despite physical limitations from polio, Frostic designed and built this organic architecture studio, which later received National Register of Historic Places status.
