This is where I post my custom work: murals by commission, large scale landscapes, colorful portraits, painted furniture, and mixed media. I love being an artist; making things and changing environments with color, texture and illusion.

Custom painted cabinetry...
The cabinets and sideboard pictured were custom finished to coordinate with furniture the clients purchased. The builder applied a pale cream base coat and I did the rest - applying paint and glazes
in succession
to build the complex textured and distressed look. It's labor intensive work - and can be a bit stressful while in process. But the results speak for themselves and the pieces are unique to the homeowners.

Commissioned painting: Cain's Tractor
This very bright painting was done for a small boy's room with (guess what?) : a John Deere tractor theme. All the colors in the room are bright primary colors (with the exception of green... ha ha..) The elements appear to me to be rather stiff as is often the case when a painting or work of art is put together according to a menu.
The tractor was a challenge as I dislike painting "machinery", but it came out okay.
