Murals

I have been painting murals since college, after taking a class in scenic painting for the theater. Many of the murals I have painted have been in collaboration with Anandamayi Arnold. We have been working collaboratively for 5 years ever since our graduation from college.

Murals can be anything from playful to inspirational by the way they change the feeling of a space. They can give the illusion of depth, open up small rooms, and distract the eye from flaws.

Whether large or small, murals give unique character to rooms or stuctures that might otherwise be impersonal and less inviting. It is also possible to paint a few decorative elements rather than an entire wall, and still add elegance to everyday spaces. 		The compositions are site specific original designs, tailored to our clients’ individual needs and interests. We frequently use photographic references.  and can also copy premade images on request.

By use of trompe l'oiel and careful attention to the surroundings, we can integrate a mural with the wall, treating them as architectural elements as well as paintings. Our murals can be made more durable for commercial spaces or outdoor locations that will experience wear and tear.

Eric Sartnaer of the Pheonix Pastaficio, our longest running client, has requested an ongoing series of murals and sculpture throughout the course of our career.
