Strong River Painters LLC expanding to Vancouver British Columbia Canada in year 2

Hello Friends and Family,

William Edward McKeever here,

Fellow painters and designers- thank you for checking out this new blog. Fantastic information about innovation in the painting field, snapshots form different cities and a way for people to hook up and work together are all featured here.

I believe that as a professional in the field of Painting and Coatings that I have a duty to constantly learn environmental interdependence policies, to teach and share the information that Strong River Painters LLC has learned and to help train and inspire people to truly live in environments that create harmony and prosperity.

My influences have been the heart felt guidance of Mr. Shai - Feng Shui Master, The Kaygu Nyingma Shambhala Zen upbringing I had in Colorado, Halifax and NYC over the last 28 years. The spiritual building techniques I was exposed to and taught in building the Kami Shrine and Great Stupa of Dharmakaya in Colorado. These two projects coupled with my training in Bali have created a vision for responsible harmonious craftsmanship.
I have been on scholarships in the painting arenas of Yale University Norfolk Program and Bard College.
I have studied Art and Art History in Nepal, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Burma, Indonesia, Australia, France, Canada, Mexico, United States, Chile, Brazil, and Argentina.

The Rose Foundation, the 2010 Olympics, Vertical Gardens, Lotus Molecular paint from Sweden- so much to talk about...

I believe a city's health can be judged on how it cares for its dead and how it deals with waste and surplus building material. I am currently looking at Vancouver's approach and am hopeful as the weeks unfold.

My lovely wife Marta and I have recently moved to Vancouver for her release and touring dates in two great bands. I am back in NYC for two painting design contracts in January, but until then I will be networking, researching and working on the west coast. Please feel free to email me directly at strongriverpainters@gmail

The first year of business in New York was a tremendous success with rave reviews in Apartmenttherapy.com Brownstoners and a future edition of Men's Vogue for our work in the Blackstones project.

Please stay in touch and feel free to post your painterly/social/historical/architectural observations all over this blog.
