Mayor's Grant

We just found out we were awarded an Omaha Mayor's Grant to keep us going on our mission to paint murals about the different historically ethnic neighborhoods that evolved in South Omaha. This will be added to our Omaha Historical Fund Grant and funding from the South Omaha Busines Association. We will be working on a Lithuanian and an Irish Mural this Summmer!

Peace Piece

I created this recently to help our church remember Darlene Sherman, a wonderful friend who passed away this year. Our church has a lot of great things going for it. St. Andrew's UMC in Omaha. They have really supported me as an artist and a person. You can learn about the material I used here: http://en.pebeo.com/Creative-leisure/Painting-on-Glass/Vitrail.

Our design for a mural at 26th an Harney

This is going to be our next exterior mural. Urban Village has been a great community revitalizing organization in Omaha. They have turned a lot of neighborhoods from sketchy to desirable and preserved a lot of great architecture while doing it! You can check them out at I omaha.com.

We are excited to explore the stain glass style of the design. We plan to use airless paint machine spraying and aerosol paint cans along with our brush and roller tricks.

This project is also a solution to an advertising need. Urban Village needs renters to keep going with its mission and they need to get the word out. We have priced our work to be very competitive with getting a billboard and we spread out our client's payments over time. Contact us to see what we mean.

Small play rooms

I painted 2 small play rooms lately, both of them about the size of Harry Potter's cupboard under the stairs, both of them with ladders and lofts. Reminds me of my bunk beds when I was a kid, how Mom curtained them off so they could be my imaginary place. I forgot to take a picture but we built a ladder, a railing and a captain's wheel for the cloudy/starry/spaceship/pirate ship room.

Serenity room mural

We painted this mural for a new home, the room is a place to go the relax and find some peace at the end of the day, complete with a fountain, niches for candles, etc. We made painted stones in the mural to match stones in the fountain and on the tile floor.
