In the seven years I've been working in this industry I've come across some extremely talented muralists and artists, some of which I've had the privilege of meeting and learning from. My posting for today celebrates these innovative artisans in a sort of tribute to what I view as the best of the best:
Number one on my list has to be Pascal Amblard. He is a fine artist and muralist from France, whose work I have admired for many years. This past year I was fortunate enough to be able to take a workshop from him. On top of being so talented he is a very humble person, easy to talk to, and just an all around nice guy. I hope to have the honor of seeing him again one day soon.
Another very talented artist is Linda Cassels-Hofmann of Art Effects. She has an amazing eye for color and trompe l'oeil perspective. She was one of the few people who was willing to share her knowledge of the industry with me when I first started out in this business. 
Carol Pascale, one of the few women artists who have exhibited at the International Decorative Painters Salon, is an amazing artist. For over twenty years she has been creating some of the most stunning, original works I have seen.
Tania Seabock's talents far surpass those of even some of her early instructors. She spent several years studying in France under some of the world's leading experts in the field, and quickly mastered marbling, wood graining, and gilding techniques. She specializes in trompe l'oeil ceiling designs. She is a dear friend and I truly admire her work.These are just a few of the many talented people out there working hard to create beautiful art that others can enjoy. This list is an ongoing project of mine, look for more artists in future posts.
