It is family, art, music, and laughter that I feed off of to be creative. My mind is always working and thinking outside the box, yet, listening to each clients needs to be different. It is my unique and creative views I believe, that separates me from other artists.

Day one. Jan. 11, 2012It doesn't look like much but there was a lot of taping involved...not my favorite part of painting a mural..I know it still doesn't look like much but has only been a couple of evenings of painting so far. I'm just laying down the basics then the detail will come later.A close up of tragedy and comedy. More detail to come later. I will adding some color as well.As of Jan 22, 2012. There is still a ton more to paint.Close up cougar logo. I have some touch-ups to do on it but that will done near the end of the mural. There was a lot of taping involved...too much as a matter of fact.This is just another angle on the mural. This from the front doors of the school. as you enter. Jan. 25th, 2012.
