Over the years, I have had the priviledge and honor of working in some of the finest Historic Properties, High End Homes and Estates on the Middle Penninsula and Northern Neck of Virginia. 

As an added by-product of my work, I have gained wonderful and enduring friendships, along the way. . .from Williamsburg, to Ware Neck, Gloucester, Dutton, Deltaville, Irvington, Urbanna, Wicomico Church, Richmond County, Essex County, Manhatten, NYC and so many other places too numerous to mention. 

This page contains photographs and descriptions of some of my favorite mural, furniture and water gilding projects. 

Some are murals, others "fine art furniture" that I have created or finished for various clients or gilded projects.  This  is not by any means an all inclusive showing, but merely a sampling of projects.  Several are still waiting to be uploaded and I also plan to alternate projects from time to time.

The murals that I have painted, furniture finishes, gilded wall plasters and other sophistocated works utilize only the finest and most innovative products available.  The techniques that I employ on all of my projects are my own original techniques that I have developed and are unique to each individual project.  Each piece of  furniture, furniture finish, mural or other project is truly "one of a kind", never to be repeated or reproduced in any another location.  All colors are custom mixed as well for each unique application.  I use only the finest products available today - as an added by product they are also non-toxic with low VOC's.

The descriptions for each project can be seen by "clicking" on the thumbnail photograph located in the photo gallery. 


Please allow all images to fully load on this page prior to clicking on a thumbnail.  This will ensure that all of the thumbnails will load properly and completely.


Be sure to view the photographs of the 43' long panoramic mural of  featuring the Ritchie House and surrounding properties as they would have looked in 1760.  (See Ritchie House page). 

Original Paneling from Portions of the Ritchie House, is housed in the Winterthur Museum of American Decorative Arts, (Tappahannock Room) and has been featured in numerous books.  The Ritchie House is one of the most historically significant buildings in Tidewater Virginia.
