I painted this mural for a client in Olympia, Washington. It is a reproduction of several Jan Brueghel 16th century paintings. This dome is in the master bathroom, which will give you an idea of the magnitude of the beautiful estate. It had a library, a theater, a gymnasium and a museum. My client owned these paintings which hung in the museum in his home.
Here is one of the original Ian Brueghal paintings.
This album also has other European paintings and murals I have painted.in Los Angeles and Orange County.
“It is indeed a pleasure to give Carolee a recommendation for the quality of work performed and her pleasing cooperation. Carolee painted a ceiling dome in my residence in Olympia, Washington. Under difficult circumstances, she painted a wonderful mural without complaints and was very cooperative in her duties. Without reservation I recommend Carolee.” – Calvin Brach, Chief Executive Officer, KDOC-TV 56, Irvine, CA

I painted the mural# above for a Jose Cuervo campaign. It was reproduced for tequila bars in 13 airports across the country. This picture was taken in the airport in Charlotte, NC at the Tequileria. I worked with the former Vice President of Jose Cuervo International to create the design. It was a great experience!
“Carolee’s art was reproduced in 13 tequila bars in airports across the country for our Jose Cuervo campaign. She was very professional and accurate, creating just what we needed. We are very pleased with the results, and I am very happy to recommend her.” – Tom Snell, former Vice President Jose Cuervo International
The Legendary Park Plaza Hotel
“Carolee, thank you for the fantastic work! You did such an amazing job repairing and restoring our ceiling. It was a pleasure working with you. I look forward to having you back to help restore the remaining areas of the building.”- Luis M. Moral, Property Manager, Park Plaza Hotel, Los Angeles
I had the honor of doing some mural refreshing at the historic Park Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. The murals had been damaged by film crews, and I was hired to help restore them to how they looked originally.
The hotel is just magnificent. It is reminiscent of a Florentine palace with lavish Romanesque architecture. The Renaissance-style murals that I refreshed were designed and executed by Anthony Heinsbergen, a noted painter of many Los Angeles cultural landmarks.
The hotel was built as an Elks Club lodge in 1925. The pool area hosted many indoor swimming events during the 1932 Summer Olympics. Eventually, the Elks sold the building, and it was transformed into a luxury hotel. Today the the Park Plaza Hotel is designated as an historical landmark. No longer a hotel, it is currently used in a variety of motion pictures, television series and commercials, and events for the Hollywood Elite.
As I worked in the ballroom I could feel the many parties, events and films that were created there over the years. Loved it!
Here are some pictures of the hotel, and what I painted.
