Blast from the past

Here’s a photo of my very first commissioned mural.  My oldest daughter was 3 months old when I was hired to paint this trompe l’oeil garden gate almost 23 years ago.  I never could have imagined all that was to follow, from an actual size trompe l’oeil Chevy Tahoe in a model home garage to a replica of a section of the Sistine Chapel on a foyer ceiling in Wheaton IL, to murals in Libraries, schools, parks, country clubs and model homes all across the country.  As I begin this new facet of my business developing wallpaper murals, it’s fun to look back to where it all began and look forward to what the next 23 years will bring.
