About Me

My Photo
I love to create and decorate. I'm a mural artist which also extends to painting on anything else. And the tile idea, I have to give credit to my friend Emelio, who I have painted many tiles for.... I also teach art to kids. Kids are good for your art. They free you up!

table and chairs...


This project took a heck of a lot longer than I thought. What I imagined to be a summer job took almost a year... chair by chair.. back and forth and then the table. I did enjoy painting them though.. learned some too.
Isn't that always the way though.. we learn "after the fact".. but it better prepares me for the next time.

dinning - kitchen chairs and restuarants

This restuarant is closing, and who knows if the next owner will keep the mural. As I was walking by the other day, I decided to take a few pictures. This is the wall of the building on the deck for out door dining... oh well, things change.
Back of the chair for a client... little by little...

Taking flight......

this is still the unfinshed painting but it is after a trip to Peru (machu picchu on the left) and the future visit to Lake Titicaca on the right. Yes, although I like to be grounded, I do need to take flight at times...........

House Swap




These are recycled business cards that I played with for a swap.

Some recent stuff

Played around with using texture in the background.
Feather's have been an ongoing theme for awhile with me. It started with the dream of a yellow and black bird.
Chair for Michelle.

Michelle's desk


I changed the brown tip of the stool because it was too "heavy" and made it like the tips of the desk.

Tiles installed

Here's the tiles installed.
The skinny strip along side the cabinet is waiting for hanging garlic....
work was done at home, positioning where the plug would go with the green tape.

Fruit bowls


After cleaning off the top of the table, I started in on some shelves and came upon a bunch of pictures. Just what I needed too. Emelio wants a fruit bowl for the RI house. Top one was painted for a house in South Carolina, the other is in the Harrison house.
