2nd Nature Creations was founded on the work of artist Mark Mittlesteadt and the principle that we should all be living inspired lives. We feel that our surroundings should be a never ending source of inspiration and so we use our talents to help you create an inspiring atmosphere in your home or business through the use of murals and/or dioramas.

Some of the work we do includes...

• Murals of Nature or Themed rooms.
• Room Design consultation.
• Dioramas incorporating 3D sculpture or integration of existing furnishings.
• Cultural or Natural History Museum Design.
• Cultural or Natural History Museum implementation of designs, including mural, 3D work and taxidermy.

There is an enthusiasm and energy to our work that our clients see right from the very first consultation. We get excited by ideas…your ideas. No matter the intended purpose, whether in a private residence, a business or a museum, the murals and dioramas we create will inspire.

With 2nd Nature Creations you get…

• 25 years of professional art experience.
• Award winning artists.
• Free consultations.
• Conceptual designs and detailed layouts for your approval.
• Someone who cares about you on a personal level.
• Enthusiasm, passion, dedication and devotion to you and your project.

• Art that will inspire you.

But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what others have to say about our work and company…

"Mark's work surpassed our expectations. We had a concept in mind and he quickly came up with a plan to implement it. We had a relatively short timeline to work with but Mark worked day and night to get the work done easily meeting our deadline. We will definitely be asking Mark to add more of his work to our store!"
~ Lori Schubring, owner Wild Bird's Unlimited store

"What Mark created for us would be inadequately identified as his “work”….. It truly is the blending of his talent and passion that allows him to not only capture a moment, but also to draw one into that moment to enjoy its essence.  Mark was able to complete our project as scheduled, working under difficult conditions, keeping a great attitude, and doing whatever it took to create our murals. People daily enjoy the different atmospheres and visual pleasures created by each of Mark’s murals."
~ Andrew and Rose Boron, owners Acorn Hill Senior Living Community

"Thank you for making Lucky Raven the revolutionary tattoo experience that we envisioned! Mark was able to complete our projects so quickly, it completely surpassed anything we expected! Both Mark and Dawn helped in so many ways throughout the opening of our business we can't begin to thank them enough. Mark always had a great attitude which helped keep the flow of business and ideas going during the trying time of opening a new business, so thank you from all of us. Also a special thank you for your donation of a print for our grand opening raffle! We are sure the winner will love it! Our customers really enjoy and always comment how incredible, and how much they love, the murals & dioramas created by Mark."
