I am often inspired by the creativity of my clients and what they ask me to create for them. One of my latest commissions was for MAC Presents, an agency in Manhattan. The above piece is a result of their concept and my execution. They wanted something big and branded for their powder room. Music is their business and the inspiration for this life-size concert that brought the room to life!
Over the years, I have been hired to paint New York landmarks, family portraits, country houses, favorite locations, and more. Commissions are the best way to get exactly what you’re looking for. See catalog of examples here.
