"The production of public art must balance the influences of the artist and the community in which it exists. Otherwise, it doesn't belong."

murals for public places
We like to create big murals that change the face of public places. Whole new worlds can be created that can't exist in real life. Art and imagery can be presented directly to the public without the filter of the gallery process, drawing the community together in a shared experience. This pedestrian-friendly experience encourages people to walk around and revitalizes public areas, encouraging tourism and civic pride. We have a proven track record in working with public agencies like city councils, redevelopment agencies, and federal departments. Part of our success in bringing outstanding art to the public eye has been our ability to work with all agencies in shepherding each project through every step of the process.
murals for business
Murals make a dramatic and cost-effective impact for businesses. Outdoor murals draw attention to a business in a way that is cost effective and not overtly commercial. A quality mural will be embraced by the public, and can give a building a landmark status that reflects the business in a favorable light. Indoor or outdoor murals rapidly improve atmosphere and also compensate for architectural flaws and other awkward physical situations. For indoor or exterior murals, we often paint the mural on non-woven polyester (parachute cloth) in our studios and then "wallpaper" it in place on site, so we can beautify any site without disturbing the ongoing business.


murals for private homes
Murals and Trompe l'Oeil open decorating horizons in private residences as well. Whether it's a full wall mural or a new window or vista, a residential mural changes the whole dynamics of a room. While a mural is intended to be permanent, we realize that your living situation may not be, so we have developed a technique in which we paint the murals on canvas or non-woven polyester so you can remove them later and take them with you if you desire. Painting the murals on canvas or non-woven polyester in our studio also minimizes the disruption to you in the mural creation process.
