• Owner/Artist

  Decor & After, LLC

  (Fine Art industry)

  2001 — Present (8 years )

  I've painted murals since 1994 and I am certified in Interior Design. My style has been described by fellow artists as somewhat "impressionistic". I love to inject texture into my work along with a bit of humor, when appropriate. Animals, People and landscape are my favorite subjects to paint, although I've been commissioned to paint outside of that realm with success.
