Primate Paradise

Have a seat and enjoy the view..

Primate Paradise was a once in a lifetime opprotunity. My client gave me “carte blanche” to completely cover just about every wall surface in her home and many pieces of furniture with murals and paintings, based on all things related to “primates”! I themed each room as well as the furnishings, so each project had a focus, yet still flowed from one room into another. Enjoy!
