I began painting in 1980 and immediately loved painting very large pictures! My family and friends teased me about the big paintings taking so long to complete but in 1983 I painted my first wall mural. A friend saw it and asked if they could pay me to paint them one and my business began. "My friends & family stopped teasing me about big paintings!" ;) Since that time I have painted wall murals, floor cloths, trompe loeil', canvas paintings in oil and acrylic & furniture. ***Specializing in Baptismals*** I design and paint for both commercial and residential. Thirty years experience.
