His childhood home was only a couple of miles from Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture school. He worked as a stonemason assistant and learned all about architecture.

On a trip to Italy he was very impressed with the architecture.

He was also fascinated by the murals by Michelangelo and Raphael and how they used perspective that fooled the eye into believing a scene had depth.

He earned his master’s degree in Fine Arts from the University of Minnesota.
He moved to New York and began painting pictures of buildings and was a professor teaching others about art.

He started painting murals on buildings in 1970. He eventually stopped teaching to devote all his time to making murals. The style of his work is called trompe-l’oeil which means to “fool the eye”. His art creates optical illusions that look very realistic to the viewer. He is the most well-known architectural muralist living today. His work can be seen in cities all over the world, including here in Phoenix!

Let’s try it!• Use shadows• Shading (is on the side opposite the light source)• Darker, more detailed images appear closer• Larger in foreground, smaller in background• Smaller images higher on the page
Have fun!!!
