The folding frame, adjustable shelf system, and adaptable design make it easy to display a wide range of artwork without sacrificing presentation.

Built by Artists
The Maverick Studio System was born from years of creating, exhibiting, and learning firsthand what artists need from their displays.
After searching for a solution that balanced beauty, flexibility, and function, we found ourselves designing and refining one of our own. What began as a need in my own studio evolved into a patent-pending system designed to help artists display their work with confidence and ease.
Created by Will and Renee Smith, every Maverick Studio System reflects the same care, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that we bring to our own creative work. It was built to support the artwork, simplify the process, and help artists present their work beautifully.
