From Thomas G. on why he chose to contact me: "When you started to incorporate more contrast into your work I fell in love with your style. We loved the fact that you are an Interior Designer and we knew you would make a piece that would complement the space. I am super happy you are willing to make us a larger piece that will fit in that space."

From Thomas G. after receiving the paintings: "This was fun watching you work through the process but the final product leaves me with insufficient words to describe. You definitely were listening to what I liked and it is clear that you were of a similar mind to be receptive to those stylistic elements. I would say I suppose it is the closest thing I have seen that represents my aesthetic to perfection."

Blank Canvases

Here they are hanging on my studio walls all big and bright. This was the largest Fine Art piece that I had tackled. I kept reminding myself matter-of-factly "I used to paint entire walls in homes! This is actually quite small and manageable."

It helped.

Bold Beginning

The first step is always bold color movements to establish some form and the base for the final depth.

Texture

Layering Venetian Plaster on the front and sides of the canvases. This is a crucial step to achieve the textured surface in my work.
