Upbeat and invigorating, with Matisse inspired imagery. The loose
style and free-flowing washes of color totally changed this former "Plain
Jane" bathroom.
An energized BMX themed room where I painted the walls to look like
sky, and then painted the performers in bold tones. The big red railing
also works as a "headboard for the bed.
An eerie underwater scene of a
skeletal shipwreck and an ominous shark. Done for a 14- year scuba
fan, the translucent Bahamian blues and aguas of the water, along with
the blue-black reef gives the room a masculine classic look.
This
12'X15' fresco mural is painted directly on plaster with special glazes,
sanded down and sealed for an authentic, museum-like
quality. A popular, timeless look.
One
walks off of an elavator is greeted on either side by views of the
beach.
This homeowner wanted her home office to be something special.
I transformed this space by painting a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired
design directly on the wooden closet doors.

A
playroom is transcended to Renaissance times with this colorful mural
of knights, princesses, and decorated horses. The plush tents below
the castle are mirrored in the real fabric tent in the room.

A lucky little boy sits inside his giant "tree bed" surrounded
by his Junglebook room. All four walls are painted like a jungle covered
in tropical rain forest flora and fauna, with a waterfall and lots
of monkeys. The round bed is wrapped with a thin veneer cut
out into the shape of the tree with the tree painted
lots of roots for hiding critters.

This Noah's Arc nursery was inspired by the baby's crib set. Taken
one step further with the dolphin jumping over the curly-que waves.The
yellow walls add to the sunny, happy feel.
A
Tuscan themed kids room, which will was done to bridge the baby years
through adolescence.
