Murals & Fine Art.
Art as a focal point is the element that separates a designed space from a decorated one — and it's a design approach I often employ. Hand-painted murals, fine art commissions, and painted surfaces like ceilings or tabletops, integrated into the broader design rather than dropped on top of it.
Commission a Piece
The Service
Art that earns the room.
With a degree in Fine Art, I approach each commission as an artist first — developing subject matter, scale, palette, and light interaction in service of the room itself. Many pieces I paint personally; for work beyond my own practice — particular stylistic traditions, large-scale photorealism — we commission from a small bench of artists whose instincts we trust and orchestrate the project end to end.
From the first conversation we develop the piece through mood boards and sample boards — never larger commitments without drawdowns. When the work is finished, the lighting plan, adjacent materials, and furniture arrangement are already designed around it.
What the engagement includes
Subject development, on-site sample boards, surface preparation, application, and protection guidance for the finished piece. For commissioned work, artist selection and orchestration are handled end to end so the artist can focus on the work.
Common applications
Dining room feature walls that make every meal feel occasioned. Nursery and children's rooms that can grow with the child. Powder rooms — the most rewarding mural opportunity in any house. Ceilings, stair landings, and painted tabletops. Commissioned canvases for over the mantel. And the occasional full-envelope piece for a dedicated room.
