This project was a little bit different than the usual.. I painted on a wall instead of a canvas! Since I was painting on wallpaper (a commission for a client in Park City, Utah) I had to use special paint and custom made rollers. The entire job took about 19 hours. At one point, I felt like a Cirque du Soleil performer: balancing between two ladders (one of them extremely tall ) and contorting my body to get to the hard to reach spots. The experience made me cry (tears of happiness of course!) because I am so grateful to have the opportunity to do what I love and to share it.

Sounds like you had enough of the Big Island troubles. I took one of your classes at the Volcano Art Center. My son lives in Park City so I'm familiar with the area. But to give up tropical weather for COLD COUNTRY is commendable. Losing your lava home is a motivator.
