Native Northwestern American trompe l’oeil turned this bland
elevator doorway into a grand entrance. When the elevator doors open, the mask and
woven basket slide inside the wall. An 11”x17” watercolor, used to illustrate the idea
to the client, is pictured here as well.

This trompe l’oeil mural was painted for a client that loves gadgets and science
fiction. The actual living space included exposed brick, brushed steel railings
and mauve painted ductwork. All of which were incorporated into the artwork,
adding to the illusion.

The question was posed, “what can you do to hide this hideous garbage chute”?
I painted the garbage chute to look like a carved African table cabinet with
a statue on top. The client loved the trompe l’oeil so much that we ended
up decorating the whole hallway with it, incorporating a real mask here, a
real picture there, even some real branches were mixed in with the trompe
l’oeil ones to add to the illusion.

The trompe l’oeil on this wall was conceived around two existing French paintings.
Both colorful paintings were utilized as the outdoor scenery as seen looking through
the trompe l’oiel window.

This trompe l’oeil was painted in the old Ludwig Drum factory located on Damen Ave.
in Chicago. The building had been renovated into condominiums and the client wanted
to pay tribute to it’s historical past.

This Stone and Tile retailer wanted to give customers an example
of how their product could be utilized around the hearth. They didn’t have a fireplace
in their store, so we painted a trompe l’oeil one for them.
