A graduate of Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI- Arc) with the highest award for design excellence, Michael Olshefski reflects his architectural style in every Primal Modern work of art.

Inspired by nature, Eastern art and philosophy, and minimalist modernism, Michael Olshefski integrates his passion for design, precision craftsmanship and the art of making into every functional artwork and sculpture he creates.
