I also do Christmas, Halloween/Fall Harvest and other seasonal window, wall and auto art. I have a few hundred pictures, references and examples of my work. I have painted the light-hearted work at several businesses, homes, chains and vehicles in Tomball, Magnolia, Conroe, Montgomery, Huntsville, Houston, Navasota and Corpus Christi. *SEE SLIDESHOW* Thank you for taking the time to view all of my work.
Here are just a few finishes that I do. There are more pictures coming, plus I learn/try something new every day. I make sample boards of new ideas. Thank you for your time and interest. Feel free to email me questions, suggestions, ideas, or to set up an appt. to get started in your home/office. I welcome comments on my Testimonial page of your experience with my work and creativity.
