Grapevine, Tx: Autumn~2007
This was a really fun trip. Hard work, but fun. Five artists landed on site in October, flying in from 4 different states. All 5 of us are experienced artists with backgrounds and degrees in painting, sculpture, fibers, etc. We all have other projects aside from the hotel/water park jobs, but we enjoy these jobs for the travel and the extra income, as well as the comradery that is shared when collaborating on a project.
By mid December, we had painted murals in the lobby, water park & retail area. We also painted set work, placed props, and painted woodgrain on most of the 1,200 faux cedar ceiling planks that were installed on the 50' ceiling throughout the lobby & restaurant areas.
In addition to this, I created 6 wildlife replicas of timber wolves at my studio. The wolves were placed on ledges above the fireplace, and on the rock waterfall area above the registration desk.
Other sites include:
Mason, Oh: Winter~2006
Williamsburg, Va: Spring~2007
