Also, thank you to the artists who use my artwork as their inspiration. I have seen many copies of my work around Atlanta- It is a complement that you find it worthy to reproduce.

Toodles is located in Old Town Sharpsburg, Georgia. The building that the shop resides in used to be a general store with shelves from floor to ceiling. The shelves are gone but the rolling ladders to reach merchandise remain. It very cool to see places like this still exist. For this shop a number of items were painted- most of the signage for the shop as well a mural for the dedicated nursery area near the back on the right. The subject of the mural is peter rabbit meets the velveteen rabbit.




Johnson's - Marietta, Georgia Celebrating the beginning of her high school years, their daughter starts the new school year with a design I called a scrapbook chaos. The new bedspread has a multitude of colors from brown to pink and orange and lime green and teal. It has a bit of a "bollywood" feel so we used the colors and added some favorite subject matter along with scrolls and some personalized positive teenage thoughts and phrases to bring a truly original concept for a young teenager. Beside the bathroom door, is a collection of scrollwork while in the reading alcove, a block design lends to the colors of the room. and one simple mention of her name is all the detail the space needs.

Horse Dreams Youth Ranch is owned by Paula Barnes. It is located at Pico Mundo Equestrian Center in Milledgeville/Macon, Georgia. (478) 454-8009, e-mail horse_dreams@yahoo.com or visit www.horsedreamsinc.com.

With left over wood and a few scraps, I branded our little farm with a logo. Since we are a law enforcement family and Roy Rogers and the lone ranger are popular figures from our childhood, our horses are named for various terms of firepower. Hence the names- Trigger, Remington Girl, and Browning.

MILLEDGEVILLE — Riding and caring for a horse may seem like fun, but one organization is using 12 trotters to teach children and teens about the values of life, trust, family and faith while forming and building relationships with one another through a two-week summer camp. HorseDreams Youth Ranch is a non-denominational faith-based organization that provides at-risk youth with hands-on experiences interacting with and caring for horses in a nurturing environment, starting from the ground and building up to the saddle.

The Henkiel's- Douglasville This dining room is painted on one wall to represent a Tuscan Harbor. The beautifully bright colors can be seen from the street through the front windows

The Collins Suwannee, Georgia

The theme for this little boys room is Race Cars to match his bed. The model was the Grand Prix Race in the Hills of France. The mural is flanked with trees in the foreground to bring a nice transition to the painted wall. Notice the tires leaning up against the tree on the left and the road was meant to look as if the bed were coming into the room from the track. Samples on the right are cars in the background near the top of the curves.

	The Braves Stadium comes alive in this little boy's room utilizing an architecctural feature on the left. The Wall wasl painted to simulate inside the dugout looking out to the field. The opposite wall in the room over the desk area carries the same "block " finish with a few more more hats to bring the entire room together.


Jennifer Smith Monroe, Georgia The Smith's two sons are sports fans like most kids. In one of their bedrooms, baseball was the theme created from inside the stadium from the ondeck circle. The spectators illusion as in the Collins stadium was used and the image of the son was added -getting ready to bat . The jersey on the opposite end of the wall brought in the favorite college team as well.

The older brother's room utilized the theme of the SEC mascots with University of Georgia as the powerhouse. Because of the position needed for the bed, "Hairy Dog" used his strength to propel the others over into a mascot pile. GO Dawgs, paws, and a jersey over the mirror and dresser brought the room design together.
