I work with restaurateurs, designers, architects, businesses, construction companies and homeowners who need assistance turning ideas, visions, carefully thought out projects and sometimes even bewilderment into beautiful, well crafted finished products. I began doing paint finishes, murals, signage and building custom furniture and art pieces after graduating from art school in the early 80's and have been at it ever since. My largest project spanned almost ten years and began when a client needed help with a restaurant concept that he wanted to duplicate. After the second store came a third, a fourth,until I found myself responsible for creating and maintaining the "vibe" and the look of just over 200 stores in many different US markets along with a warehouse/furniture/artifact/signage production facility to support them! Now, I'm again spreading my talents around not knowing what new project or opportunity is around the corner and loving it. This blog/portfolio shows only some of the work I have produced over the years. I encourage you to dig back a ways. Some interesting things in here!

Del Frisco's Grille, Washington DC - Interior Wall Finish and "Street Plan"


http://delfriscosgrille.com/


I created a textured "plaster" finish here that covered 700 sq. ft. of wall space in this store that will open the second week of July.  In one of the areas there was a design based on the Washington street layout cut into the plaster.  The other areas above some booth seating and upper level hallway had only the texture applied.









 
4 sq. ft. sample board submitted for client approval.
