Saint Clare Mural Finished

Our installation of a mural about the day that St. Francis "installed" St. Clare has gone well. It was wonderful getting to know sister Theresina of the Poor Sisters Of St. Clare in Omaha. They are moving from Benson to the campus of Mount Michael in Elkhorn. It was also good getting to visit the huge printing workshop of Great Big Color in Denver who printed the mural. Thanks to Michael Giron and Pam Conyers-Hinson who helped with the installation!

Collage of recent work

We do a lot of home beautification, murals and faux finishes. We do free estimates. We also help remodel businesses with upgrades that renew their public image. Stores we have remodeled have become much more profitable.

Business murals and sculptures we completed lately

Here is our mural at Von Maur and our faux stone and faux wood columns at Canfield's. We think they were projects that changed the feelings of the spaces and hopefully helped out these businesses. The Canfield's store is locally owned and we enjoyed getting to know the folks there pretty well over the months it took to do the work. Thanks especially to Pam Conyers-Hinson who subcontracted to help me on this! Her sculpting and painting skills are awesome! A good group of people!





Our Magic City Mural

We put a clear coat on our 24th and N street mural. I think it has the feeling of looking at a butterfly through a microscope. We had a good meal with the young men from the area who helped us. They really seemed to enjoy the experience. The appreciated the income as well of course. We built some good relationships with them and the people we met in the neigborhood!



A documentary about our Metropolitan Community College mural was presented

This is a link to a not yet finished draft to a film made about our project that was shown at the unveiling. https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F108411890&h=VAQFyjHW6&enc=AZP0eZdk41B_seQ7SydPPxJM4mY8o1e72JYOGdT6XUiQ6jdRey4MMl4p_eOMgXFkB0BFNZtGEJjGqPHBfCbmsw1PncKNaQo81w_6wJUjhnRmQm95UlPwRmv68xattoWJ1qkK-lroS20TUBv0BJ66pY2J&s=1

We had a memorable time on 24th and N yesterday

Mike, Rigo, Victor, Jerek, and Jair, and I continued to work on the background shapes and textures of our latest mural yesterday. 24th street is full of life, especially on the weekend. We even had a troop of singers across the street doing choral music for an hour or more while we painted. Rebecca brought us supplies and continues to refine the drawings for the next step.

Work has begun on the 24th and N mural

With a great team of high school and college boys from the South Omaha area who enjoy working in aerosol paint, and with assistance from the Kent Bellows Studios ( a mentoring youth in the arts program) we got an over-all texture on our mural today. It was great fun. And it was eye opening for me to experience aerosol paint other than airbrush or airless sprayer. It does have a lot to offer an artist!
