Hi. I am and have been for a lifetime an artist. Continue reading below to know what that means for you considering hiring one. Unlike many, I am NOT the stereotypical 'poor starving artist'. I'm beyond that and why my minimum fee for any commission is in the $2000 range. Regardless, I stay very busy with waiting lists to get on the calendar weeks to months in advance. Here's why... When one thinks about what an artist is most think that it's someone who can draw or paint a picture. But a true artist is much more than that. Learning to draw or paint is nothing more than learning the alphabet and basic grammar of creative problem solving. It's the practice of training one's eyes, hands and brain to see and express the world in ways unperceived by non artists. It's cardio toward a more muscular observational perception. Eye training, or ear training if musical art. In my case, I've supplemented that developed skill with studies in psychology, marketing, mass communications (professor for a few decades), art history, and management. That combination of an artist's 'eye' and strategic knowledge attracted the attention and commissions for creative solutions for an amazing array of clients that include such companies as Apple, Microsoft, the Alamo, the Witte and San Antonio Museum of Art, Dell, Hilton, Four Seasons Resorts, the Indonesian Consulate General, Chipotle, the Arboretum, Voodoo Brewpubs, Hooters, Tarka Indian Kitchen, Thermon International, Rivercity Productions, Steck Vaughn Publishing, Taz and South Austin Films, and many more. With a background in Theater and Film Arts, Printing Technologies and construction management, commissions for murals are not limited to paint on a wall. I transform spaces into dramatic new environments. I'm known for creating unique custom murals that evoke a mood or memory or experience. Spaces that serve as therapy, or bring about meditative states of mind. Spaces that create emotional connections in memory for intentional messages for onlookers. I get to 'create space'. from adding decor to a wall to enveloping guests in a whole new place or time or mood by combining light and color and form and texture and sound using all the tools available to painters, builders, sculptors, engineers, programmers, architects and designers. For murals I have large format printers in studio for exterior or interior permanent installations, banners and signage. A lot I do alone. Yet I've trained and assembled a ready team of experienced pros to accommodate larger projects. With experience designing and overseeing construction on film and stage sets as well as museum exhibitions, I can if necessary transform a warehouse into a palace or another planet. Each project brings it's own purpose and then it's fun to figure what can be done that changes the space and experience for the viewer. With adequate budgets, anything becomes possible. Even what you may not yet be able to imagine. You want a master on your team. Let's talk.
