Creating a Mural Before & After...
Here, showing the insight of before and after pictures taken, as a project is being developed. I find the process fascinating, as the project begins to foam and the different stages individually emerge before it is complete according to a clients personal needs. No two murals are alike and are custom created. Please enjoy some of my before and after pics!

The Transitions of a Mural
Designed to camouflage unsightly register vents that spanned across a focal wall, for the home owner. Dineen created architectural interest and movement, taking the unsightly vents and making them disappear. The photos here show the different stages that took place as this muraled motif came to be. A lot of thought and detail went into the design, giving the home a whole new feel. Everything from the plant shelf to the plaster walls were all created with paint, and is all an illusion.
Hot Air Balloon Mural
Dineen took main pics from start to finish of this mural she did for a doctors office, there's a lot of detail that is lost within the photos. I hope you enjoy!
Ombre' Painted Techneaque
This was the perfect choice for a baby's nursery, the colors chosen where from the same family working well together. The Ombre affect is a beautiful painting technique that offers so much, can be daring and elegant... depending on the color scheme chosen.
Faux Stone Wall
Decorative Stone wall was made to mach an existing mural the client already had in their home.
