Just like the night sky, all of my stars move and “twinkle”…even my “shooting stars” appear to move…and they are moving. There’s nothing else like it… StarMurals are truly one of a kind.

StarMurals are compelling, intriguing, awe inspiring works of fine art. Each StarMural is a custom, hand-painted view of the night sky. No form of projection is ever used…each star is plotted and placed free hand. From constellation layouts to complex views from deep space, involving galaxies, nebulae, comets, clusters and more…each StarMural is a true original.
