So who are you, and why are most of your jobs in Florida?

I'm native to Florida and got my art degree at USF, in Tampa.  I began painting murals professionally in 2000 and moved to Minneapolis in August 2008.  I was drawn to the Twin Cities for the endless creative opportunities it offers. 

I'm a member of the Northern Territory Artisans chapter of the International Decorative Artisans League.

I also teach drawing at Bloomington Art Center -- a great place with a beautiful gallery and theater, and a really friendly staff. 

I want a particular subject matter and style, but I don't see anything like it in your portfolio. Does that mean you can't or won't do it?

It means that your ideas are unique -- my favorite kind.  Do email or call me and ask.  I'm very versatile, and I'm always happy to be asked for something truly new. 

Do you do very small things?  I just need an accent.

Sure, I can help you with that. 

How do you price your work?  By the hour, or the square foot, or what?

I visit the site and talk to you, then create a proposal that includes preliminary sketches, time frame, and a quote.  The price depends on size and complexity, as some things are much easier to paint than others.  You'll know exactly what the cost is before I ever pick up a brush, and it won't change unless you want to make significant changes to the project.

What do you charge to come and consult with me about a mural?

Consultations are a service I offer at no charge.  Simply call or email me to set an appointment.

Would you be offended if I ask you to, um ... make it go with the sofa?

I actually enjoy working with your existing decor.  Also, if you have a designer or decorator, I'll be happy to collaborate with them to ensure that the finished product will be a perfect fit for the room.

Wow. I thought artists were more, you know, temperamental.

I have much more fun making my clients really, really happy.
