My approach to painting and redesigning is artistic, timeless, yet unexpected. My motto is "More is more!" I'm a texture junkie and love specialty finishes. I've traveled the world as a working hairdresser and have even worked as a floral designer before painting furniture came into my life and it has been quite a wonderful journey. 

 

We look forward to meeting you.
