Fantasy Library

Interior designer Anne Folsom Smith brought me in to paint this mural for a fourth‑floor condo on Longboat Key, where the homeowners—avid Disney enthusiasts—wanted a sweeping DisneyWorld landscape. I built the scene around four beloved icons: the Monorail, Thunder Mountain, Cinderella’s castle, and Space Mountain, arranging them with a bit of artistic license so they could share the same vista. True to form, I added my red string, along with several hidden Mickeys tucked throughout the painting. I even left a sealed envelope in the room revealing their locations. My friend Abby Kent joined me for part of the painting process. The mural spans roughly 8 by 14 feet and was painted on‑site in high‑quality acrylics directly onto the wallboard.
