I've been painting murals and creating various faux finish works for at least ten years.  I've painted for
private homeowners, in public buildings and many businesses.  I love what some color, great design and a little bit
of creative problem solving can do for a space.  Talk about transforming a room, creating a mood, and adding
depth and dimension to any area!

When I meet with a client initially - which by the way is a complementary design consultation - we cover the
basics of what their needs are, what their vision for their space is, and  we spend some time in creative
discussion about technique, time frames and cost estimates.  I usually offer to create sample boards for them.  
We then set a date for a follow up meeting in which I will present samples, a project plan, and a work contract.  
This is the time to nail down specifics.  And then the fun starts and I get to be creative on a grand scale!

Below is a collage of mural and faux finish work I've done, plus some samples of painted furniture I've created.
