Art is too serious to be taken seriously

Ad Reinhardt said this once.

This is the driving philosophy behind Miss Moose’s Painterly Establishment. We believe the approach to art and photography should allow for laughter, music, spontaneous ideas and ending up somewhere altogether different than the original destination.

Miss Moose’s Painterly Establishment is the creative arm of Applied Intellect. Both of these companies exist to support The Geek Group, a locally based national non-profit that exists to further education about science and technology. And while in the research phase of things the approach is often “form follows function”, in the final product the two are equal partners.

The Establishment is available mainly for portrait photography, but also for product photography, illustration, and graphic design. We are also open to new and unusual artistic ideas, so if you have something in mind please don’t hesitate to let us know.

We do senior photography, engagement photos, family photos.. there’s always a good occasion around the corner for a portrait.

We strive to go beyond the normal and usual, especially in photography. We are also dedicated to helping the client visualise their ideas, so that the end result matches your original ideas.

The Establishment is also an extremely strong supporter of the idea that everybody – absolutely everybody – can benefit from having their portrait taken.
