1987-present

President of company and principal artist: Backdrops, set painting, murals and custom interior finishes for private and corporate clients - specializing in photo realism, Trompe L’Oeil, and realistic faux marble; However, abstract and softly mottled artisan finishes also available. A strong preference is given to environmentally safe and responsible processes and materials. I also prefer to create the work in my studio (if possible) and then install on location using benign adhesives if necessary, thus further eliminating indoor air quality problems at my client's location. Nearly all techniques and finishes are available in environmentally conscious materials with low or no VOC's (20 years professional experience in the Advertising and design industry).
