'Bistro 33' Restaurant Mural : I was commissioned to create this mural across the bar and bench surfaces
of a restaurant in Astoria, Queens called "Bistro 33."

Their cuisine is a fusion of Japanese and French influences and the owners liked the idea of working with a Japanese garden theme as a wraparound scene to link the seating area with the bar itself. Here are some pictures of the finished mural (before the restaurant opened) as well as the creative painting process leading up to it. Enjoy!

Bistro 33 is a wonderful restaurant. If you're in the area, please consider having dinner there. Here's the link: bistro33nyc.com

West Village Lobby Mural : For this residential lobby mural I was asked to work with the pre-existing yellow walls and create a Mediterranean vine motif around a main wall and two archways. My goal was to create a mural that complemented the architecture of the lobby, and that elevated the look of the lobby without being overwhelming to the space. To help achieve this goal I used a limited sepia palette and delicate brushwork. To make some of the vine motif appear aged, small sections were wiped away or lightened to give a faded look.
