I have painted many murals, special interior paint-effects, and fine art wall paintings.
I began mural painting in 1995 after I left Art College; so I am approaching twenty-five years of experience.
I consider a mural to be a full wall that is painted from floor to ceiling.
Wall Paintings are smaller areas; like an image or detail on a wall.
Special paint-effects can be anything from some stencilled foliage around a door frame; or a trompe l oeil illusion like a window, bookcase, or even a ladybird that isn't really there.
Here on this page are some samples from recent years.

Everything is drawn in pencil first and this can be very time consuming.

Even a plain red brick wall can be turned into art... although the surface is very uneven and tricky.
