Breakfast room with a very unique ceiling.


This space was an addition off of a kitchen. The home owner wanted the panels to have a metallic copper look, and it turned out beautiful.

Attention grabbing jewel cut trey ceiling.


I did this trey years ago and thought that the photo was lost forever. Found it and still think that this decorative finish is very strong and dramatic. Rarely are treys this large, so painting the ceiling was a great opportunity to try something new.

Classy gold kitchen.


Kitchens usually have the best results with a decorative finish because the walls move with the room and the walls vary in size.

Beautiful sisters.



These two pencil portraits were a gift for a friend. I tried a new style of blending and the outcome made for a bright and airy composition.

The ulimate "Tween" room.


Girls between the ages of 10 and 12 are in transition and very ready to make their rooms fabulous. They all want bright colors and sparkle.

Colorwash with brown.


Brown paint can become a stunning, rustic finish when colorwashed.

Cool Boy's Room.


Stripes with highlights make for a very graphic finish in this young man's bedroom.

Children's bath.


This bathroom, with a very high ceiling, had a tropical theme, but we didn't want to paint a mural. After picking the right colors I strategically placed stripes and circles around the space.

Tone on tone with contemporary flair.


High gloss and low gloss paint pair well together when you want to make a strong statement in shape, but not so much in color.

A Grandmother's dream gift.


I did some decorative painting at a wonderful woman's home and she had a little nook that was dedicated to her two grandchildren. We agreed that a portrait of them would be perfect on the wall above the kiddie table.

Shiny, happy blues.


This is not a blue I use often, but it was paired with heavy furniture rich in color.

Monochromatic bliss.


I like to saturate smaller rooms, such as a powder room, with an abundance of similar colors. It allows textures and pattern to shine.
