MICHAEL THORNTON-SMITH

It has been a passion of mine to transform a given space with the creation of landscape murals. My initial challenge is to decide what could possibly work in a given room; visualizing the subject of the mural, its destiny and feeling, coupled with the needs of a client. Often, it is a clean slate and I am asked to create an idea. Other times, there are definite ideas that need to be honed and pulled together into something more tangible. It is this symbiotic relationship and working process that I find truly satisfying. To be part of an intuitive approach, having convictions to follow strong instincts, yet listening to the client who will, after all, be living with this creation. For the adventurous, who want to transform a room with a landscape mural, it can be a gratifying journey.
