Residential

Drawing upon the inspiration of craftsmen and artisans around the world we create designs and finishes that are all unique to your style. The use of paint is limitless, from childrens fantasy rooms to gilded gold ceilings with raised relief designs, venetian plasters from Europe, antiquing stone fireplaces to add the depth they deserve, custom art to hang on your walls …endless possibilitiesI serve people by assisting them in designing a comfortable living environment in their homes.  I help you discover your vision and help create a beautiful, elegant, uplifting, practical, functional home that is perfect for you.  MainlyI create a home that reflects who You are. In helping design finishes for walls, ceilings and floors i don’t impose my vision, i assist you in their process. Colors are very important.They express moods, reflections and responses. Colors can energize, stimulate, calm and refresh , and even inspire and heal us.  As we go through the process of finding your vision we can then go through many samples that i have created over the years as well as custom made samples to fit your home.

Artwork

Lisa is all self taught and prides herself on the dedication and the commitment to not only producing quality art but by being able to connect with the people whom she is working for.  Now she is on to another vision which is her hand made wood panels . She was inspired by old recycled wood pieces and all of the plaster techniques she has learned over the years as well as her hand painting skills.

The Sculpted Wall

This piece of art was hand sculpted by a fine artist piece by piece. After it was all designed and planned out there was the casting process. They were made into panels that would later be installed in pieces to make a large sculpted wall. After the molds were cast the paint was applied and the art was installed . The clients were very happy about this unique custom piece in their home
