Since I moved to the Bay Area from Oklahoma City in 1988, my drive to discover and master all forms of visual expression in a real life environment opened endless doors with an abundance of opportunities and challenges. I have attracted an extraordinary eclectic clientele, completed an astonishing number of projects and embraced my challenges with unprecedented success.
 

From Trompe L'oeil, (which is French for "to deceive the eye" due to the realistic detail) to impressionism, portraits, decorative faux finishes, graphics and design, my vision is to produce a stimulating, provocative work of art that will be satisfying to both my client and myself.
 


This website contains a small sample of the works I have created. Additionally, it will be updated periodically so as to incorporate my latest masterpiece. I hope you enjoy these treasures as much as the clients have for whom I created them.
 

Sincerely,

Manuel Cruz III
