In 2015, three friends and I decided to open a restaurant. In our hometown of Middletown, CT we opened up ‘Herd Restaurant’. We all worked together to work on whatever we were capable of in this new venture. Part of the design for the bar side would be a 21 foot wide mural of patrons at a bar. This is one of the rare occasions that I was able to paint for myself. And one of my favorite things to paint is people and their expressions so this was a real treat for me. Using my favorite photographer Samantha Annette Schannon we gathered many friends and mutual acquaintances to group together to shoot the images I would ultimately be using.
