MURALS

"ONE OF THE GREATEST DISCOVERIES of my life was that I was made for large format. Years as a commercial artist, working in sizes under 2 ft. I was frustrated, and felt that my work was mediocre. A large guy, I tend to move large and energetically. Walls are not oceans to me. They are streams; lakes to swim and sail."
