Anamorphic Mural for Children

This anamorphic butterfly mural at the Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry in Charleston, SC was painted by Sergio Odeith and featured in the Charleston City Paper.

The butterfly indicates for me starting 2017 with “change” for the new year.

Transformative Trompe l’Oeil

These before and after building facade images show the transformative power of trompe’loeil murals and their ability to make the buildings look more attractive and interesting. They help to enliven the space and create a sense of activity where there might not otherwise be much. This helps eradicate urban blight and crime. These intricate murals were painted by Patrick Commecy via WebUrbanist.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
