Below: Tuscan Landscape. This mural was first painted on canvas, as it would be difficult to paint it directly on the wall over the tub. Once completed, it was then installed within a frame above the Roman tub in the client's home.

Above (before) & Below: This is an exterior wall, which really was not the ideal wall for a mural. It has electrical conduits and boxes on the surface, a window in the middle, and a door at the far end. Considering all of these obstacles, I believe I managed to give it a whole new look with this "under the sea" mural.
Above: A golf pro's living room with a trompe l'oeil window of his favorite golf course.
Above: This mural was painted on canvas and then applied to the wall in this bathroom. Below: A window painted on the wall of a dinette gives the room an open and airy feeling.
Above: Decorative balustrade with floral background. Below: Detail of flowers
Above: This faux fireplace is a perfect example of "Trompe L'Oeil" ( a French term, meaning "To fool the eye". I painted it on the wall in my client's living room. It is important to not only paint the fireplace itself, but by also painting cast shadows on the wall next to it, the feeling of depth and dimension are created. The mantle is an actual shelf which was attached to the wall, supported by two corbels, but the candle stick and the vase of flowers was also painted. The framed painting and the other small items on the "mantle" are real. Below: Trompe l'oeil of a window painted on an exterior wall.
Above: Landscape on a wall in an elegant bathroom dressing area.
Wish you had a view of the ocean outside your home? The effect can be created for you. Above: A curved wall gives way to a painted archway leading to a tropical beach scene. Left:The open window, including the windowsill with potted plant and seashells are also an illusion which has been painted on a flat wall.
