360° Immersive Mural
Alice's Fantasy Library
360-degree fantasy environment painted floor-to-ceiling in a private residence, Lake Station, IN. Hot air balloons, rolling hills, a painted door leading nowhere, and a living room swallowed by another world.
Mural · Addition
Alice in the Tree — Alice's Fantasy Library
A new chapter added to the original 2018 Fantasy Library. Alice perches in the tree on the landing while a hypnotic spiral descends the stairwell below — a dormouse peering from behind the mushrooms at the base. The mural keeps growing.
Trompe l'oeil
Illusion painting that plays with depth, texture, and the boundary between real and painted.
Polytab Mural Installation
Triple Falls Oasis
Trompe l'oeil waterfall mural painted on polytab substrate in the studio, then installed on-site like wallpaper. Stone arch, wisteria, triple falls, and a blue grotto pool — painted to disappear into the wall.
Trompe l'oeil Mural
Tuscan Fantasy w/ Dragon
A room swallowed by Tuscany — stone archways, grape vines, a bird of paradise arrangement, rolling hills, a black cat lounging in the distance, and a lavender dragon peering through the iron gate. Private residential commission.
Mural
Pthalo & Gold Agate
Floor-to-ceiling agate mural in flowing pthalo teal and gold leaf — a room-sized geode slice.
Anamorphic / Illusion
Works that only resolve into their true form from a single exact viewpoint.
Anamorphic Mural
Penrose Triangle — SMAC
Anamorphic trompe l'oeil mural for the Southern Missouri Arts Connection. A Penrose impossible triangle that only resolves from one exact viewpoint.
Public & Outdoor Murals
Commissioned and community murals on exterior walls, retaining walls, and public spaces.
Outdoor Mural · Retaining Wall
Hollister Train Depot
A long retaining wall outside the Hollister Train Depot painted for the City of Hollister, MO — a partnership with the Southern Missouri Arts Connection (SMAC). The mural spans the town's railway heritage: a Tudor-style station building, rolling Ozark hills at dusk, and the No. 417 locomotive rolling through a painted sunset.
Outdoor Mural · Retaining Wall
Murphy Park — Storybook Knockouts
Part 6 of 8 in a public art series painted along the Murphy Park retaining wall — a partnership between Branson Parks & Recreation and the Southern Missouri Arts Connection (SMAC). Five hand-painted "knockouts" punch through the dark block wall, each a window into a dreamy scene: a sailing ship, rolling lavender hills, a distant castle, and a figure peeking back at you through the break.
Exterior Mural
We Are Stardust
Exterior mural — a cosmic nebula swirl with hand-lettered text. Part of the #MakeYourMarkWR community initiative.
Creative Lettering
Hand-lettered murals as public language — words painted to be felt, read, and shared.
Dream, Create, Repeat
Hand-lettered mural celebrating the creative cycle — a mantra painted large and lived in.
We Are Stardust
Exterior mural — cosmic lettering on a community wall. Part of the #MakeYourMarkWR initiative.
#SelfieVibes
Playful lettering mural — the kind of wall people stop to take a photo in front of.
I Heart Branson
Gold balloon letters floating on a blue sky — painted on a wall, feels like it could drift away.
Love
Balloon-letter piece painted on a 4ft board during a live event. Simple, direct, built to stop you in your tracks.
Lace Finch Studios — Wayfinding
Lettering and stripe work painted inside the new studio space. Functional art that makes the building feel like it belongs to the work.
