Signature

Mrs. Mullen was a groundbreaking muralist who developed a process for painting on metal, including stainless steel, aluminum, chromium, copper and gold. The metal method was evolved through eight years of rigorous experimentation. Using a surface prepared by etching and acid, she learned how to accomplish a sound union between the metals and oil paints.

Mullen’s murals can be found in numerous corporations, banks, universities and government buildings across the U.S.
