NEW! 12/08
These portraits are some of my latest work, commissioned as gifts. These projects were incredibly fun to do, and I very much look forward to doing more of the like.
Also new are these murals painted on vinyl roller shades. The great white is the window covering from the shark themed room as seen in my murals gallery.
Murals on Roller Shade
These pieces were airbrushed off-site in my home studio. Painted on a vinyl roller blind, it was later installed over the window with curtains. What makes this piece most special is that it can be taken along to a new home if the decision is ever made to move. There are many exciting uses for this type of mural. Kids especially like the idea of having scenic backdrops to enhance ther imaginative play.
Babies’, Kid’s, & Teen’s Mural Themes
Children are so blessed to live in a constant state of wonder and amazement. Their limitless imaginations epitomize a freedom that many adults have forgotten. I particularly enjoy painting children’s murals and fantasy theme rooms because it allows me to revisit my youth and indulge in the realms of fanciful splendor. I can transform your child’s room into the ultimate fantasy environment where their playful imaginations take center stage, or paint it to represent their hobbies and interests.

Outdoor Wall and Poolside Murals
With distant horizons and far off places, outdoor wall murals give an amazing illusion of depth to any size yard. Seaside and tropical beach themes transform ordinary pools into luxurious vacation getaways! Desert landscapes and mountain views painted on your walls help to restore natural connections and views of the outside world that have been obscured by the unsightly masonry and mortar joints. Outdoor wall murals can transform your backyard into any place on Earth. Japanese gardens, lush rainforests and jungles, majestic mountain ranges, tranquil beaches, Tuscan hillsides and vineyards, Mediterranean seaside villages, or any fantasy environment on this planet, or any other, are just a paint stroke away.
Swimming Pool Murals
Who wouldn’t want to swim with dolphins or explore coastal reefs? The floor and walls of empty swimming pools can be transformed into fantastic underwater environments. Painted sea creatures cast their shadows on the walls, giving the amazing illusion that there are fish, turtles, dolphins, whales, rays or even circling sharks waiting for you to join them in a refreshing swim. Freshwater aquascapes are also possible complete with the likes of manatees, frogs, pond turtles, or bass…even alligators for those courageous enough to take their chances. Paintings are sealed with a marine quality epoxy coating to protect them from the harsh environment, chemicals, and UV rays, as well as to protect the ph balance of your pool.
