About the Artist

As an artist specializing in the creation of murals through corporations,architectural projects, museum commissions and the high- end restaurant market, this website will introduce you to my work through a variety of images.

I work primarily in acrylic on canvas, as it allows for production in our Maine studio as well as for potential mural removal by the client at a later date. The subject matter and style can be adapted to the project and can vary from painterly realism to a precise graphic or period style.

Should there be interest in more material or pertinent information please do not hesitate to call or fax and I will be happy to respond.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
John Gable
