Personal Statement:

Murals have many meanings, they are unique creations, and no two are alike. They tell the story of a place, but also become a part of the story. They animate communities, improve your health and clean the air. They help us to imagine, remember, contemplate, celebrate, and laugh. Murals are part of everyday life and life itself. Murals develop our sense of aesthetics, perception, investigation and experimentation. Murals remind us that all things are inter connected. I utilize a mix of popular education methodologies, enriched with a commitment to multiple intelligence, organically allowing the magic of the arts to enhance every area of our lives.

Personal Statement:
The process begins by listening to the client's wants and needs, incorporating their goals with my extensive background in both art history and decorative design. I have excellent color awareness and skillfully produce a variety of faux-finishes. Frequently, glazing walls provides the background and the murals or trompe l’oeil completes the room. Original artistic themes grace my clients' walls, floor cloths, furniture and woodwork throughout the Northeast. My classical sensitivity coupled with research and imagination result in creative interpretations that develop into unique and successful collaborations with the client!
