What is "faux"? It is a French word  for illusion or imitation.   Faux painting is used to transform a simple space into a room with its own character and style.  Faux brings color, texture and character to something in need of attention.    Faux painting is done on walls, furniture, cabinets, fireplace, doors, and whatever else the mind can conceive. Using faux techniques, I can make plain walls look like stone, leather, wood or whatever; the sky's the limit.  Many faux designs resemble the Greco-Roman, Renaissance, Persian, Country French or "Old World" designs. Their beauty is ancient and still captivating.  In today's high-end decor, faux painting creates a timeless look.

My goal is to work with you to create the mural or the faux finish that you have always wanted in your home or business. Whether it is a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, ceiling, or floor, I can help you create the design that you want. I have over 20 years of experience in custom painting and faux finishing, with a background in painting murals, graphic design, and illustration. I have the creative ideas that can give you a look ranging from modern, contemporary or classic traditional. I  will help to develop your ideas or create a design for your walls or ceilings. I am known for my creativity, and also for being clean, fast and affordable.
 
One day I hope YOUR  faux pictures will be here at this site.
Please feel free to write me and rate my site.
God bless!!
