The painting above was created for a person who wanted to surprise his fiance on their wedding day with a painting of the location where they got engaged. It's the coast of Portugal, and he sent me reference photos and his preferences in size and colors. How romantic!
I was commissioned to paint this display case at a nature center. I gave it a bark texture and added birds, animals and insects. Super fun and educational!
I was selected to paint the design for a 30' wide outdoor vinyl mural for Impression 5 Science Center in downtown Lansing. The STEAM movement is close to my heart as it promotes incorporating the arts into science, technology, engineering and math. For this mural I incorporated the four main arts disciplines: dance, theater, music and visual arts along with the sciences, and references to Lansing such as the Riverwalk, the Capitol, and downtown.
This painting is a very creative family portrait! The person who commissioned it thought of the idea; her three children are half Native American and have middle names that mean wolf, bear, and butterfly. She asked that I incorporated the wolf and bear footprints in the sand and add a monarch butterfly. The scene is from her photograph where the family vacations every year.
