Graham Rust inspired mural, the trompe l’oiel shells were painted on a dining room ceiling at a home in Beaufort, SC. The shells were painted monochromatic to appear to formed plaster with pineapples to symbolize southern hospitality. at the time I was painting the mural, a Carolina Wren had a nest just outside the window. For a touch of whimsy, the homeowner asked that I add the Wren perched one of the shells with its nest nestled within the shell on the opposite side.

Repurposed antique cedar chest turned coffee table with a quail hunting scene. This commissioned chest was passed down for generations, but it’s stained cedar finish didn’t fit with my client’s decor. I applied a hand rubbed painted finish with the painted scene, now the focal point of the study.
This dining room mural depicts a 360 degree view of Tybee Island, the Cockspur Island Lighthouse, Fort Pulaski and Lazaretto Creek.
This hutch was in rough shape when I first saw it. The stained finish was too dark for the room, was two separate pieces (the top was mounted to the wall) and missing moldings. I made it one piece with added mirrors and trim, replaced missing trim, and gave it an antique red finish with black glaze and rubbed gold accents. Now a bar, located in Dahlonega, GA.
