While I can paint wall
murals in any style, my specialization is in Trompe L'oeil. This is the art of making
what is not real seem real. Blank walls come to life as large windows
looking out into the world, ornaments seem to adorn walls but only upon
closer inspection are simply painted on. Below are just a few examples
of what can be done to beautify and give life to your restaurant, office, home or any other room.

This is a Trompe
l'oeil painted behind a bar counter of a water front home in
Florida.

if there is a hole in the wall and you can see a beautiful sunset in
the distance.

This is a full and
complete wall painted in oil. Although it appears that this is an
archway leading onto a beautiful garden with statues on either side,
it is all in fact a flat wall.
Nothing is real,
everything is painted. A perfect example of trompe l'oeil.

THESE TROMPE L'OEIL
PAINTINGS ARE ON REMOVABLE PANELS
While both pictures appear
to have depth and the one seems to be a recess in a marble wall in which a
statue is displayed, and the other is a window overlooking a tranquil
meadow, these pieces are in fact painted on a completely flat
board / canvas!
They can be hung like
paintings or used as part of a wall panel.
