SET PAINTING

I began set-painting for the Ontario School of Ballet, as a trade for my daughter's ballet classes. This continued over several productions, even after my daughter quit the ballet classes. I also painted sets for a number of community theatre groups - and this was also a trade: I used the warehouse space as a make-shift painting studio for my own work.

MURALS

It might seem like a natural extension to move from theatre set-painting into mural work - but in fact the 2 processes can be very different. Mainly, this has to do with the distance of the viewer to the piece.
