Nancy Elhallak
A graduate from the Cleveland Institute of Art, BFA and Cleveland State University, MBA, she had a pretty unique career over the years. Starting out as a Medical Illustrator doing anatomy and surgery drawings, she later worked in toy design, product design, and overseas sourcing - finally leading her to create epic custom hand painted guitars.
The guitars first started out as a hobby. With time, they grew into one of the greatest passions that she relishes in creating every single day. She really enjoys creating that special guitar that someone always wanted - whether it’s to play on privately, on a stage, or view on a wall. These painted guitars have been signed and auctioned off for various charities by musicians and athletes, including Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones, Dead and Company, Dolly Parton, Twenty One Pilots, Paul Weller, Dave Mathews, Phish, Melissa Etheridge and team members of the Cleveland Browns, Boston Red Socks, and Houston Astros, to name a few.
