The former Tierney's Tavern and Restaurant has new ownership with a new look and menu! Main Street Cafe shows work by members
of the Visual Arts of Lewisville. I have 3 very large images currently hanging: a textile, an acrylic and a watercolor canvas print (2' x 3') in the west dining room. The address is 208 E Main
Street, open hours 6am-9pm.
DENTON, TX
My mural of Denton was selected by Wal-Mart for their public art project to install murals in their stores. A specially
designed mural showing the "Vibe of Denton, Texas" was chosen for the Loop 288 Super Wal Mart location, where it is now installed. The design is posted under the Public Art tab. Of course, I haven't
been able to see the real installation yet...
GRAND PRAIRIE, TX
I was selected by City
of Grand Prairie Public Art Program to have two of my watercolor images transferred with vinyl wrap to
traffic signal boxes. In 2019 my "Tangled Tulips" watercolor was installed at the intersection of Carrier Parkway at Hill St and in 2018 "Red Dragons" was selected for the intersection of Carrier
Parkway and Arkansas Street. (Take a peek on the Public Art tab above)
