About
I have been a professional artist for over 27 years and specialize in Hand Painted Wall Murals, Trompe Loeil, Kids Murals, Faux and Hand Painted Signs for commercial & residential properties. My 1st painting job was a window design for Easter and when I did that job I received over 40 phone calls... who new painting happy little bunnies could make such an impact. Since then I have been commissioned to do work for major companies such as Anheuser Busch, Entenmann’s, Sports Authority, Carvel, Taco Bell and many others. I have also been commissioned by several hundred business owners & home owners to do various projects including large scale wall murals, Faux finishes, Trompe Loeil, kids rooms and 3d custom wood cut signs.
In addition to my qualifications and experiences listed above, I have taught art to students through my company and another art company.
Making people smile. Nothing beats the feeling you get when you create something for someone and you know they're going to be able to enjoy it for many years to come.

Pricing includes many factors. In order to price correctly and accurately I need to know the skill set of the student, what the goals are, the subject matter, location of the classes, and the medium.
