Our Clients
Custom Signs
We craft our custom signs using a variety of substrates from wood to High Density Urethane foam to Aluminum Composite Material. Combined with our hand-painted and/or dimensional graphics, we offer many options for you to consider. We specialize in School Award Emblems (National Blue Ribbon, California Distinguished, etc.)
Espinola brings over 40 years of sign design and construction experience, along with his artistic sensibilities, to every job. The resulting signs – interior, exterior, on windows, on buildings, or monument signs – are thoughtfully-designed, attractive, and durable.

Stained Glass
For entries, baths, and anywhere else you want privacy while still enjoying natural light, Art Works stained or leaded glass is an elegant solution. Room dividers, kitchen pantry and cupboard doors, bathroom cabinets, and even interior doors and windows can also be beautifully enhanced with leaded and stained glass. It adds color, character and ambience to any space. Espinola’s pieces combine various textures, transparencies, and colors of glass so that light is transformed as it shines through them. His glass designs blend harmoniously and naturally with their environments, enhancing their surroundings with quiet elegance.
Murals & Paintings
Hand-painted murals are a great way to add individuality to any space. They can be inspirational, like our bright, bold school murals that inspire campus pride and school spirit. They can be tranquil and soothing, calming jangled nerves in a Doctor’s, Dentist’s or Attorney’s office. They can be a bold or subtle part of the décor in a restaurant.
In your home, a hand-painted mural can “open your walls” to be a reminder of a special place, or a perpetual window onto a nature scene that would otherwise be missing from high-rise or other high-density living spaces.
Far from ordinary, we love creating custom murals and art installations that inspire and amaze.
Boat Transoms
Hand Painted Lettering
Whether you choose guilded, hand-painted, or vinyl lettering for your boat’s transom, choosing Art Works to do it is a wise decision.
We have over 30 years of experience. We understand that your boat represents a significant investment of time and money and we treat it carefully. We’re proud to note that over a dozen of our transoms have been on award-winning boats at The Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance, a premiere event for classic wooden boats (Chris-Craft, Riva, Hacker and more).
About Art Works
Art Works is built on the craftsmanship and artistry of John Espinola. He founded Art Works in 1980 because he couldn’t imagine making a living any other way than by making art. John holds a BFA in painting and has painted exterior and interior murals throughout Northern California’s Silicon Valley. His bright, bold murals of school mascots are very popular on local campuses.
More businesses, organizations, and property owners choose Art Works because of our experience, skilled capabilities, and reliability. We have a reputation for delivering above and beyond expectations.
