| Me! I just paint and love it! |
Michelangelo's Libyan Sibyl from the
Sistine Chapel was my first attempt at
a mural. This is the result. Still
unfinished because of all the other
projects on these pages.

[It's not all about me. As my wife often reminds me.] I'm a semi-retired computer sales guy who was
lucky enough to be blessed with a lot of raw talent and to have some of the greatest muralists in the
World today as Mentors.
I've taken almost every course given by Sean Crosby at the Finishing School in New York. He's my
hero. A house painter who one day saw a decorative painter doing a wood graining project and said
"I can do that". Now he not only does it he teaches it and several other complex disciplines including
murals internationally. http://www.thefinishingschoolatl.com/sean_crosby.htm
I've also studied under Michel Nadai www.nadai-verdon.com and Pascal Amblard
http://www.pascalamblard.com/accueil.htm , two contemporary French Masters.
These three Masters have taught me how to reproduce almost anything from Renaissance Frescos to
Trompe L'Oeil realism.
What I enjoy most about my work is making a client's ideas a reality. The more off beat, the more
challenging the better. And believe me there are a lot of wacky ideas out there but going outside of
my comfort zone to make it happen for a client only makes me that much better. I often tell my clients
that its their vison, that they are the artist and I'm only the media they're using to make it happen.
Oh, and I'm really lucky to have a wife who supported my decision to quit a great paying high tech job
so I could draw on peoples walls.
