Custom Mural Paintings are, in a nutshell, an extension of your personality, an expression of your imagination and creativity and a way for you to take a plain ole wall and make it transcend time, space and dimensions.

You can literally use custom mural paintings as way to transform a room from an ordinary space to one of your most favorite places on earth. Your mural can be of a beautiful place (Paris), your favorite hobby (Harley Davidson motor cycles or wildlife), and an inspiring landscape (the beach or your favorite city's skyline) or just about anything else you can imagine!

That's why it's called a Custom Mural Painting! A mural can be of (just about) anything you want. It all starts with an idea that you either bring to life yourself or share with a professional muralist and collaborate about the details.

Folks, I have been a professional muralist for about 20 years and I have just about seen and done it all! I am still amazed by the effect that beautiful art and/or adored images has on the human soul and spirit. Art has a way of cutting straight through our complex minds and lives and finds that one way street to our heart where happiness, tranquility, creativity, contentment, energy, excitement and wonder lives. Everything good and rich lives in the heart and that's where your custom mural starts!

Custom mural paintings are the vehicle of choice for so many people because they become a part of your home and office and can be enjoyed by you, and others, for years to come. They offer a way to personalize your home or office in a way nothing else can.

Think about all the "greats" who really pioneered custom mural paintings. The famous works of Da Vinci mesmerize you. Raphael's wonderful works still take your breath away even after all these years. And then there's Michelangelo. I never cease being in awe of his amazing work. How about the astounding pieces of Donatello? And who can forget the astonishing appeal of Picasso's oeuvre?

These are just a few of the incredibly talented artists who've captured our heart, mind and soul with the works of their hands. These artists were true masters of their craft who left masterpieces behind for us to enjoy as their legacy for the rest of our lives, our children's lives and so on.

The part that still gets me, even after 20+ years of painting murals, is the magic that each custom mural possesses. It's that moment I live for as a professional muralist, the official unveiling of the mural when it's finished. It's a unique blend of anxiety and excitement. And then I see that look. The look on the faces that lets me know they've been transported to that favorite place or that the image they requested is exactly what they wanted.

It's magic I tell you. It's hard to paint a word picture because it's as much energy as it is emotion. I can feel them glowing! It's a happiness that is genuine, contagious and uncontainable. It's that smile from ear to ear and the twinkle in their eye that let's me know they are caught up in sheer delight from the creation that is now part of their lives. It's an extension of their personality, passion and love for some place or some thing that absolutely evokes joy and satisfaction.

In this day and time, I call that magic.

It's time for you to get a little magic of your own! Think about that place that makes you all tingly inside or that "thing" that makes you smile every time you think about it and consider making it a custom mural painting!!!
