About the Studio
In 2019 Scott Lankton moved his home and studio from his long time base in Ann Arbor, MI to Cedar, Michigan near Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park in order to be closer to nature. He is now only accepting work on a limited basis as he completes the building of his new studio and home.
