What's New...
A Window with a View!
A faux finish was painted on the wall first, before the stone brick arch and window scene were painted. This creative client decided to actually have the arched window cut out of the wall and install a real granite shelf! Stress cracks were hand painted to add the finishing touch!

A Room With A View...
This hand painted arched window is the perfect touch for this powder room in Sleepy Hollow, IL. The photo below shows what it looks like as you approach from the hallway. In the photo on the right, you can see the details more clearly... like the cracks in the stone. The flowers on the window sill bring just the right touch of color to the room.

I teach kids ranging in age from 4 years old to high school level. On a personal level, I am a wife, a mom, and a Christian who seeks to please God (the Ultimate Artist!) in all that I do. I strive to exceed my client's expectations.
