Whittier History Lesson

This trompe l’oeil mural was painted on this wall as part of a new shopping center in Whittier, CA. The mural is on the corner of a brand new Orchard Supply Hardware building on the corner of the main street, Whittier Boulevard, and a side street. The wall was built specifically to hold the mural.

Verizon Water Tower Murals

In 2016, Art was commissioned by Verizon Wireless to create two murals on a cover for a cell phone tower that disguises the tower as a water tower. This tower is in the city of Pomona CA, and the city requested that two antique orange crate labels be painted on opposite sides of the tank.

Agriculture in the Valley Beautiful

This Mural-In-A-Weekend project in Lompoc, CA, was designed by Art and painted by him and a large group of community volunteers in one weekend in October, 2016. The mural celebrates the abundance and beauty of the Lompoc Valley. Over the years the valley has seen many different types of agriculture flourish in its rich soil including the flower seed industry, cattle and sheep ranching, various types of food crops, and more recently vineyards producing high quality California wines.

Korean War Veterans Mural

This mural to honor veterans of the Korean War in the Northern California town of Manteca was painted by Art on fabric sections in his studio. These sections were then installed on a large panel constructed on the exterior wall of a building in Manteca.

Temple City On Parade

This Mural-In-A-Weekend project in Temple City, CA was painted to commemorate their yearly Camellia Festival and parade as well as important people and occurrences in Temple City's history. Temple City was established by Walter Temple in 1923 and is now a thriving and beautiful small city in the San Gabriel Valley in Los Angeles County.

Balboa Sailing Mural

This mural is a striking illusion of a hole in the wall of this building in downtown Balboa Village, and through the hole passersby can see a view of Newport Harbor on a beautiful day, with sailboats out in the channel heading for the open ocean. Ba;boa Village is on the peninsula that forms the Newport Harbor and is a beautiful beach town with many attractions for visitors and residents alike.

Downtown Law Firm

I recently completed four large canvases for a law firm in downtown Los Angeles. This firm occupies the entire 42nd floor of a high-rise office building in the heart of downtown L.A. and has spectacular views of the City from its many windows. Their building is visible in some of the paintings. The paintings are installed in their reception area and conference rooms.
