Assorted publications where my work has appeared

landscape murals

A selection of interior landscape murals customized for each space.  I enjoy working with a client and developing their vision to transform a room.  I do several sketches based on information the client shares with me then I produce a scale colored rendering.  Once the design and color scheme is approved I then can begin the project on site.  Occasionally I work on canvas in my studio and install the nearly completed project on site.  

chinoiserie

The following pages will guide you through a variety of chinoiserie projects I've worked on through the years both big and small.

custom furniture and cabinetry

Over time I've worked with clients and designers to create some beautiful one of a kind pieces of furniture, folding screens, and bespoke cabinetry.

landscape paintings

With my landscapes I've decided to branch out from my usual tight brush strokes and try a new gestural approach to painting.  I think landscapes are a good start for this technique and gives me the opportunity to experiment with color, form and and a looser style.
