30 Years of Fine Arts; a Unique Approach to Your Personal Design
My love for beautifully designed interiors is not unequal to my love for Fine Art. I have been compelled to draw and paint my whole life since I was a small child. Initially doing the majority of my work in pencil and charcoal, I eventually gravitated toward painting. Within much of my work I have rendered Contemporary Realism (trompe l'oeil - French for 'deception of the eye') in the form of faux painted marble, grained wood, grisaille or stone, other architectural features, even portraits within dimensional pieces. For over 30 years however, the most sought after form of painting in my career has been interior murals for walls or ceilings. This traditional art form is popular because of the beauty and magic it adds to homes, and businesses. The variety of mural work I have been commissioned to complete over the years has truly been an exciting adventure.

Carol has the ability to design what the customer wants and will also tell you what she feels does or doesn’t work. With her experience, I have no doubts her suggestions are the best choices. She’s easy to work with and knows what she’s doing. She carries off the designs so that I’m happy.
