History of etnsww
(2009) It was in the city of Whittier, California, where the thought of a photography and framing business came into focus. Life in East Los Angeles county is not for everyone and this sparked the motivation to escape and capture the beauty of our country outside of the city.
(2013) The birth of an official business under the name Statuezque Photography became a reality in the high desert town of Victorville, California. With hopes of one day making our own wood picture frames, we began to invest in the equipment needed to create them.
(2016) Statuezque Photography was opened in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. This very small store was a humble and grateful beginning, as we we're accepted into the local arts and crafts community. Finally after many years of planning and hard work, we opened the doors to a great opportunity.
More History
(2016) Tragedy struck 3 months after opening the store, as wild fires turned the smoky mountains into an evacuation zone. Many friends from the arts and crafts community suffered great losses and we also were forced to permanently close the store.
(2017) Things did not get easier for the company and it struggled to rebound after the fires. The business was forced to permanently close it's doors. All hope was lost at that time and the owner decided to take a less risky route to provide for his family.
(2024) A new company was formed under the name East Tennessee Signified Woodwork LLC in Greeneville, Tennessee. With the addition of a new woodshop, things were really starting to take shape and the quest for The American Dream seemed to be right down the road.
Currently
(2024-2025) Six months after the company reopened, the owner was happy to answer our nations call of duty and shut down the business operations once again as he deployed with the Army to the middle east. With answered prayers and healing from injuries, Michael was back home in August of 2025. The business was slowly reopened after surgery and physical therapy. As a family we stayed Army strong!
After a miraculous return to the states, ETNSWW leased a new facility in Greeneville, TN. The large woodshop will allow us to create and deliver custom works of art for our customers on a larger scale. We are so grateful and excited for this opportunity and have partnered with other businesses right here in town. Thank you Patriots, for going down this road with us. Lets build something together.
Stay tuned for the next milestone. We can't thank you enough for sticking with us throughout the years. We hope to finally make it here in Greeneville, being part of the community and building it together. Thank you Patriots for being the best part of what makes our company what it is today. God bless America and your families.
Thank you!
