Murals

This mural spans 40 feet on the second floor of the First United Methodist Church in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They welcome visitors if you would like to see the mural in person. It’s used regularly during bible study classes to give a visual to the subjects being taught. When I was first approached about doing […]

This mural is located in the conference room at Blaske & Blaske attorneys in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They welcome visitors if the conference room is not being used. This mural spans all four walls of the conference room. It is based on drawings and maps of Ann Arbor, circa 1860. Some of the buildings included […]

This is the largest interior mural I have ever done. The murals fill every available wall at this RV showroom in Chelsea, Michigan. It features National and State landmarks that blend one into the next throughout the display room. Even the office doors and overhead doors are painted. I started by spraying the sky colors […]

The fitness room for Domino’s Farms was scheduled to be moved to a windowless room when I was called in to create a mural that would “open up” the space to the outside. There were several requirements. I was to include Domino’s Farms somehow in the mural and to show several sporting activities and one […]

I love doing Trompe L’oeil murals. I’m surprised that more people don’t request them since it can entirely change a space by tricking the eye into thinking there is another room, a window or a stone wall where there’s just a plain drywall panel. Trompe L’oeil means literally “to trick the eye.” I’ve employed the […]
