Swinomish Mural Project
Anacortes, Washington

For this project Morse Fine Art Studios started with three large digital canvases which were then artistically
manipulated by hand.  There final install location was in the Swinomish gaming facility in Anacortes, Washington. 
To tie into the "night-life" imagery was chosen that would make a veiwer feel as though they were on the floor
of a moon-lit rainforest.  To create this effect acrylic glazes were used to trap light and color into the surface
bringing the three canvases to life.  While the manipulation is noticable in these pictures, the true magic of this
effect can only be witnessed in person.
