A Ten- Year Refresh
A very common question
customers ask when having an outdoor mural scene painted is “ How long will it
last”? Of course, the answer varies based on weather conditions and exposure
but it’s reasonable to assume around 7 years. Recently I was contacted by a
customer from 10 years ago that they were ready for a refresh. It was great to
see that the paints had held up so well. It would have lasted longer except
that in the process of having their whole exterior painted after the hurricane,
the house paint got onto the mural and the
house painter attempted to “blend “ it in. Let’s just say that didn’t
work. Thus, they called me to refresh and add in some new features.
They’re now all set for another 7 to 10 years:
Here’s a comparison
of the original to the new refreshed version :

Have a Seat
Have a Seat
One of SW Florida’s favorite past times is kicking back and relaxing on the beach. Hearing the sound of the waves gently approach the shore as sunbeams glisten across the water revives the soul. On this day of rest and relaxation here are some excerpts from mural artwork celebrating the best “seat” on the beach:

Fighting Flames, Saving Lives
Fighting Flames,
Saving Lives
One the most heroic
and community serving professions is the fire department. A firefighter’s
entire life is wrapped around the protection of the city, county, and state (
sometimes beyond ) where they live. We owe a debt of gratitude for what they
are willing to do every day to keep us safe.
As part of the “Front Liners” mural collage honoring the military, first responders, and teachers there is of course a section for our amazing fire fighters. This one is located at Love Boat Ice Cream at 1523 NE Pine Island Rd Cape Coral, Fl.:

Cream located on downtown Ft Myers at 1512 Hendry St Ft Myers, Fl.:

Thank you to the
brave men and women for your courage and commitment to our community.

The ABCs and the 123s
The importance of
education cannot be over emphasized. We are blessed to live in a nation that
believes in education for every person regardless of skin color, nationality,
gender, or religion. Hard to believe that there was a time when little girls
weren’t attending schools. Or that there was a time when people weren’t allowed
to learn to read based on their skin color. Although there is current turmoil
and debate in our education system, “we’ve come a long way , baby”. I’ve been
blessed to paint mural works throughout many of our Lee County schools.
Recently though I was tasked with showing support for our local educators in
murals outside the school walls. A local ice cream shop, Love Boat Ice Cream,
asked me to create a series of “Front-Liners” murals. Meaning those on the front-line
including military, first responders, and educators. Here is the latest section
representing our incredible teachers and instructors:
