The sort of raw-but-opulent flavor of this dining room ceiling faux finish was all the rage while I was painting in San Diego. The “Tuscan” mantra was the starting point of many different design processes for me, even if the final result bore little resemblance to anything you might actually find in Tuscany.

Floor-to-ceiling circus room mural created for the playroom of a gorgeous historic home in Point Loma, CA, designed and built by noted local architect Frank Hope.

Based on period research & the architectural details/materials of the home itself, everything in the room was designed, built & finished around the vintage flavor indicated in this detail shot.

The “Achievement/Progress/Community” installation at the Cesar Chavez Trolley Station is my one enduring contribution to the public art collection of the City of San Diego. 

I designed and produced this narrative mural cycle in tile mosaic for permanent outdoor installation at the historic MTA station. I hired a licensed tile professional to do the final installation of my mosaics on the benches, though :).

This Tuscan fantasy was painted “trompe l’oeil” style on a set of four customized pantry doors in a narrow sort of kitchen with a skylight up in a high ceiling. Total mural area is about 8′ x 11′.

I also worked up the aged wood faux finish on the surrounding mouldings and carried it through to the new cabinetry installed in same remodel.
