An old brick wall was reinforced with concrete block and transformed into a nationally recognized monument honoring veterans.

Dominating the main square of town, this once gray, soiled wall and gravel parking lot have become both a dramatic entrance to the city as well as a backdrop for numerous concerts and civic events.

Over 80 local citizens posed for the figures in the mural, which depicts this same square early in the last century.

This scene depicts the Ohio & Erie Canal as it passed through Massillon, Ohio, directly behind the building it was painted on. Rather than cover the entire wall with paint, the design of this mural utilizes the existing brick as part of the scene’s architectural setting.

This mural was commissioned as a tribute to the local steel industry, the economic backbone of the community. The design includes 12 painted panels on either side of the central image that depict the different stages in the mining and transportation of raw materials, as well as the production of steel. Painted rust adds to the realism of these features.

Gazing through painted arches, the viewer is transported back in time to turn-of-the century Steubenville. After the mural was completed, an old photograph was discovered which depicted a wood structure with three arches similar to the architectural design in the mural. History seemed to be repeating itself, as the original had been built to celebrate the town’s centennial over 100 years earlier.

Five painted trompe l’oeil architectural panels dominate the top of this office building in downtown Canton, Ohio. The classic architectural motif of the crest and oak leaf was designed to help this post-modern building fit in with other classical structures in the vicinity.

During the remodel of this exclusive shopping mall, the developers were looking for a way to draw attention to their facility from the freeway nearby and engage the thousands of visitors and tourists that disembark from tour buses at the entrance. A sweeping view of Niagara Falls now greets shoppers where once a long, barren wall existed. Painted architectural elements common elsewhere on the existing building façade were used to frame the scene and enhance the illusion.

Real objects such as hooks, aprons, and clipboards, which mimic their painted counterparts, were added to the surface of the murals to enhance the illusion.
