This on site piece was so fun. We used cut tree limbs as our canvas at our clients residency. Our client wanted bright pansies that could be seen from the road while driving by.

​

We sanded, primed, and used cracked filler before using high quality outdoor acrylic paint. We also finished it with a matte clear spray for extra protection.

This outdoor mural was for a repeat client. She loves all animals but had a personal connection to the story behind the owls. Their facial expression and direction they are facing is all for a purpose.

​

We used outdoor acrylic paint on the siding so that it will hold up even if weathered.

This outdoor mural was requested by the resident to make the backside of their shed that faced the main road vibrant. She loves sunflowers and birdhouses and had the idea of a geometric tree and little bird houses. We used patio paint which is a great brand of outdoor acrylics.

​

This mural took several weeks to complete with the hot summer weeks and frequent rainstorms.

This vibrant mural was for a resident at the Friendship Commiunity Center in Lititz, Pennsylvania. She loves bright colors, fantasy, and Mary Poppins so we wanted to incorporate all three aspects.

 

We used a mixture of hand painting and stencils to complete this mural. The entire mural is done in acrylic paint and glitter paint was added in specific areas to add some reflection.

Leopard Mural on Separate Wall

This mural/faux finish my mother and I tackled for almost 3 weeks. Our residential clients travel to South Africa frequently to hunt and have their game stuffed and mounted. They were looking for a mural and faux finish that could incorporate their wall hangings in the basement living room. We used stenciling, hand painting and faux around the stuffed animals to create an African grassland. On the wall across from the grassland we did a life size leopard mural as requested later in the original project.

 

 

 

All in all it was one of the most interesting projects we have ever worked on.

This commercial mural was a large project to take on.  A local restaurant owner contacted my mother and I to paint the inside of his 2nd Italian pizzeria, so we recruited our entire family to get the job done on time. 

 

We used the combination of hand painting and stenciling to create an authentic Italian pizzeria as envisioned by the owner. We painted faux bricks around every archway and window, signs, greenery, and even a sky scene on a 25ft high ceiling that required scaffolding. 

 

If you're ever in the Lancaster County area stop in for a bite to eat and took a look at the artwork!

This was a residential project my mother and I painted in two days for a small family. They have an open archway between their living room and dinning room that they wanted to spice up a little.

 

The faux bricks were hand painted and the colors were chosen to match the brick around the their fireplace.

This project was strickly a faux finish that my mother and I did for a residential client. We painted from floor to ceiling on 3 diffrent levels of this large house.  Using a variety of different tools and a mixture of acrylic paint and glazes, we were able to create the iridescent effect that the homeowners were looking for.

My mother, father and I worked on this residnetial project together. A stay at home mom of four wanted a jousting mural for her childrens play room. The homeowner was very artistic herself, where she had painted faux bricks on the one wall in the play room but needed some extra help with the mural. 

 

We used acrylic paint and almost all hand painting skills for this mural and used references that the home owner and ourselves had found.

This was the first mural I've ever painted. It was a volunteer project that I worked on in high school. In my science class (junior year) we had to create a picture of Dr. Seuss's "The Lorax" to decorate our individual folders. My teacher loved my folder so much that she wanted me to re-create my drawing into a mural on the back of the wall in her science room. This was latex house paint and all hand painted.
