About Me

 

As a Decorative Artist my portfolio is full and varied. My expertise covers the design and execution of:

​

• hand-painted murals and trompe l’oeil

• specialist paint finishes and decorative effects

• Venetian polished plaster

• metallic finishes

• aging and restoration

• master crafts - marbling, graining and gilding

• art works and portraits

• and all types of bespoke paint finishes.

Established in 1984, I bring a wealth of experience working with paint, colour and decorative arts.

My clients are as eclectic as my work. I work for home owners, interior designers, architects and businesses, transforming interiors using an array of Specialist Paint Finishes, Paint Effects, Polished Plasters, Murals and Trompe l'oeil. I paint commissions for clients at home and oversees in oils and acrylics.

​

My work varies from week to week. From painting a trompe l'oeil scene in a pool room to painting a croc skin effect feature wall in a bedroom; from graining a grand entrance hallway to updating furniture with a specialist finish; from applying polished plaster to adding metallics for a sublime effect. I can offer my experience to help you gain the most from a project, large or small.

​

I am based in London and regularly undertake projects throughout the UK and overseas. 

​

I am fortunate enough to have worked for some great clients and am grateful for their testimonials:
