Hello, my name is Mike Lorenz. I'm a high school art teacher in St.Louis, Missouri. When my twin boys were born a number of years ago, I painted a mural on the walls of their nursery. Friends and family liked it, and soon asked me to do work for them. As word of mouth spread, painting blossomed into a small side business for me. I've set up this site to showcase projects that I've done, and to give people who are interested in having a mural painted a way see what I can do. If you're looking to have a mural or some other sort of wall art painted in your home and you like what you see, please contact me. My prices are very reasonable, and the subject matter is only limited by your imagination. Thanks for looking.

Winnie the Pooh



Here are a couple of so-so pictures of the Winnie the Pooh mural I painted for our boys' nursery 6 1/2 long years ago. It wrapped around 3 walls. I tried to incorporate interests of my wife and I (art, music, softball, the St.Louis Cardinals, etc.) into a picture of Winnie the Pooh characters (to match the crib bedding). I liked it a lot, and it stunk having to leave it behind when we moved out. We've been in a house of our own, so to speak, for a little over a year, and I still haven't gotten around to painting anything like this in the kids' room. I suppose time was a little easier to come by before the kids were born...
