Before After
This is a perfect example of how one of our murals can dramatically transform an otherwise unattractive space into a dynamic
environment ... a very cost-effective solution as well ! Several of the large-scale mural projects on this page were painted with
an associate, Gerry Houghton. We were able to complete this project in eleven days while the pool was closed for cleaning.
Notice also the hot tub alcove at the lower right.

Co-op Fruit Packing House
Summerland, BC 2006
105 ft x 36 ft
This was a very large heritage mural paying tribute to the orchard and fruit industry of the area. This commission was for the town of Summerland's 2006 Centennial. Again,
I researched the photos with help from the local museum staff for authenticity, even the "Spartan" apples which were developed at a local research station and Giant's Head
Mt. in the background are accurate.This mural took five weeks to complete.

Before and After
This mural was painted in two weeks while the pool was shut down for maintenance. The stylized design
depicts the confluence of the Quesnel and Fraser rivers and different species of fish in the area.
I incorporated the pattern of the concrete block wall into the background design to give it a "tiled" effect.
Before and after
This wall was easily seen from the road. As per
the client's instructions we created a faux cargo
door and a 3-Dimensional feature (a real barrel)
to cover up an unsightly air-conditioning vent.
