Faux Finishes / Gilding / Stenciling / Wall Glazing / Instruction / Consultation
WELCOME! My mission is to create one-of-a-kind artworks and unique finishes using traditional techniques for application in both residential & commercial settings. I also offer instruction to serious practitioners interested in learning these techniques as a way to enhance their homes and their incomes.
Walls need a little color or just a change? Glazing a room will add depth and warmth to plain walls. 4 walls too much to think about? Try starting with just an accent wall. Subtle stripes or diamonds can be a great addition. Maybe a textured look to give that painting you're so fond of just the right background. A simple glaze can change the way a room feels and how you feel in it.
To put a bow on the whole package I'm offering savings of 20% to 40% as my own contribution to fighting the sagging economy.
So give me a call or shoot me a message and you can have that new living room or bedroom without the hassle of remodeling and at a great price.

Remodeling can be expensive & time consuming. If you live in an apartment, it is often out of the question. For a fraction of the cost you can make a dramatic change simply by wall glazing a room, marbling a table top or adding a stencil or two to give your home or office a new look.
Choose from a wide variety of shapes, sizes & finishes, or provide your own design, to create a one-of-a-kind mirror or you might like a gold leafed feng shui symbol for your wall.
Many services are available -- from wall glazing & furniture painting to Faux Finishes of all kinds. Don't forget to look at the many gilded finishes and Fine Art as well.
Custom work is encouraged and appreciated.

The Faux Finishing classes are here now!
One-On-One Faux Finishing instruction is available.
These private classes are designed for the student new to Faux Finishing. They are one-on-one to allow the student to study & work without distraction. You can study a single subject, such as Wall Glazing or take a more comprehensive course with several Faux Finishing techniques. You, the student, decide what you want to learn. I will provide you with the necessary tools to begin practicing the Art of Faux Finishing. The classes are hands-on practical training that will allow you to start using your newly acquired skills as soon as you leave the classroom. Your training time will be only as long as you need. In many cases the basics can be taught in as little as a day or two. Painting Contractors will find this especially helpful when designing classes to meet their needs.
Classes are scheduled at your convenience.
