Gallery of Commissioned Works, Fresco, Work in Traditional Materials, and Atelier Work
This gallery of commissioned work consists of murals for the New Village school and portraits and paintings commissioned by private clients. Some commissions and portraits are not shown here for the privacy of my clients.
Murals for The New Village School were created during the summer of 2020. I was asked to revitalize the school so that when the children returned from the lengthy lockdown, they would be delighted to see their school transformed with colorful murals, knowing how much they were missed and helping to create an environment in the school that helped them feel welcomed and at home.
Please see an example of my Fresco Painting at the bottom of the section. I am happy to show you additional fresco work when you contact me at mparhm@gmail.com.
FRESCO
I worked in Fresco in Manhattan, and I had the privilege of studying Fresco Restoration in Otranto, Italy.
Here is an example of a master copy I did in Fresco after Piero della Francesca.
