My painting partner, Dayle Booth, and I painted this 475 square foot mural using chinoiserie technique with a Texas theme requested by our client. The art is our original design with the input of our client. This mural included both the ceiling and walls. Our scope of work included realistic, whimsical paintings of animals and other objects in nature. Other techniques included in this mural were: gold leaf, glaze, metallic paints, and indoor paint.

My painting partner, Dayle Booth, and I painted the athletic halls of Riverwood Middle School. The walls were primed using BHER extreme bond primer, interior paint, and Muralshield sealant. This art was a representation of all sports offered at the school.

Hem Kitchen and Bar

Steven Diep

My painting partner, Dayle Booth, and I painted both the interior and exterior walls of Hem Kitchen and Bar. These walls were a total of 270 square feet. The walls were unfinished concrete. This project required us to prime using BEHR concrete and masonry bonding primer. We used interior and exterior paint for the art work, then used Muralshield for the exterior mural to protect it from the environment. Both murals depicted the streets of Ho Chi Minh City.

To paint the space I used BEHR Dynasty Exterior paint. This paint includes a primer and a sealant for extra protection from extreme environments. To finish the project I used Muralshield which is an anti-vandalism and preservation coating that creates durable and highly maintainable murals.
