One of the most interesting decades of my career was working full-time for two natural history exhibit companies, painting murals, illustrations, and assisting in creating models and dioramas. Though semi-retired, I would still be interested in painting small indoor murals. Contact me if interested. Below is a selection of some of my favorite murals.
