Dream and Laugh Wall Mural

This wall Mural was painted for my 

nephew Liam and my niece Olive 

who share a bedroom.

Since it is a room for a boy and a girl 

we wanted to choose something that would go with the colors of the bedding 

but be unisex at the same time.

Painted with Acrylic Paint

If you are interested in having an original wall mural painted for your child (or for yourself) please feel free to contact me with your questions and ideas!  I work with just about any budget.

Life After Java Logo

This logo was designed for writer Casey Pitts.  She describes her blog like this:

I'm a stay at home mom who doesn't stay home much! I can be found volunteering at many organizations, teaching Bible study, sewing costumes for local theatres or writing on a variety of subjects. Regardless of what's on my schedule, I always start the day with a cup of coffee and my laptop.

I always enjoy the challenge of trying to take the few things I know and weave a visual connection between what it is that a client does and their personality.

I think we found a nice balance this time.  What do you think, Casey?

Bicycle Painting

- especially for mr. brian parks -

I can't remember the exact dimensions, so I'll make a guess: 2'x 3' x 2" 

Acrylic paint on canvas. 

This was a contracted art piece in which I was asked to portray the innocence of childhood.  When I asked about whether he preferred cityscapes or country scenes -among other questions - Brian answered that he liked it all.  Since he is an avid cyclist I knew I wanted to include his love for the sport.   I don't know whether I was portraying the boy as a child and then growing into an adult or just a kid imagining himself racing when he is really taking a leisurely ride in the country.  That is for Brian to determine!   I wanted to link the two scenes into one by the fence continuing through the middle of the painting and corresponding the images on both sides.  Enjoy taking a look!  

 Thanks, Brian for having me paint this for you.  I hope it is something that fits your home and continues bringing a smile to your face every day!
