For more than 30 yrs. Dorothy Chandler has been creating fine custom art, faux murals and wallpaper murals, specializing in acrylics.
Having always painted in a realistic style, Dorothy began painting trompe loeil murals and mini-murals to create rooms with a view. Trompe-l'oeil is a French term meaning 'to deceive the eye' and describes a genre of painting in which objects are depicted in photo realistic detail for interior decorating.
The artist has always enjoyed wide, breathtaking vistas, but found herself in a small apartment with a limited amount of windows. A small bedroom with only one window led to the creation of a doorway leading to a garden, visually making it appear as if the room opened to an outdoors filled with flowers and sunshine. Each room soon found itself with it's own custom mural of different scenery from around the world; a hillside in Italy, an Italian village and a park scene. These art murals opened once tiny spaces into vast windows into the world. A series of tropical bathroom murals of seascapes provided a soft impressionistic view.
Mini murals create a window or doorway to the world adding depth and a focal point where none existed before. Mini-murals are ideal rooms that have no window and bring memories of favorite places into the home.
Mini Murals are now available reproduced on a smooth white canvas creating rich colors for long lasting enjoyment. They are applied to the wall like wallpaper to create your own room with a view.
