Most of the Murals I paint are in designated rooms of the home or place of business. I get a large call for kid's bedrooms and play areas. A very popular theme is the Italian Tuscan look. I have painted many murals of Italy in kitchens, Dining rooms and Restaurants. Whether my mural is simple or complex, I treat each with the same focus and dedication. I like to have fun with each project I paint and enjoy meeting each family that invites me in their home. Other than murals painted directly on the wall, I also would be able to paint on Canvas as well. The choice of paints I use are Acrylic and waterbased latex paints.

My Biography:
|
Ever since I was 5 years old I always had the desire to draw and paint. In the present day everything I do revolves around artwork. I turned what I loved to do as a hobby into a business painting murals. While most of my mural work is hand painted, I've also had extensive training with the airbrush. I first began to airbrush after College and came into the business of Airbrush T-shirts. After I learned how to use the airbrush combined with my art background, I worked for several airbrush stores primarily in New Jersey and Florida. In more recent years I've owned and operated a T-shirt novelty item Airbrush shop on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights, NJ. Almost all of the Murals I've done are a mixture of hand brush painted along with the Airbrush. I always look for ways to enhance my skill level. To me, a mural that might seem complex is a challenge.
